Everything is a game.
Don’t take anything written here or that happens to you too seriously. After all, nothing really exists; everything is a simulation, and even if it doesn’t, how can you prove that something really exists? And it doesn’t matter whether it exists or not. You’re in the game now, so enjoy it.
Before long, in cosmic terms, there will be nothing left on Earth: no homes, no animals, no people, no memories. The game goes on – with or without us. One thing is certain: in a few billion years the Sun will grow and swallow the Earth, and in fact, it looks like the Earth will get very hot long before then, with our help.
Bottom line, don’t take anything too seriously. There really is nothing, there is nothing terrible and there are no tragedies – everything is a game. Today there is, tomorrow there is not, and the day after tomorrow there may or may not be. In our nature we want to see everything as real reality and not as a simulation or a game, because it helps the survival of our genes, but that doesn’t mean it’s true! So challenge this urge and try to see the world from a bird’s eye view. Then, you’ll probably laugh to yourself: “What the hell are they doing down there?”
“Which God should we believe in, if any? The God of the Jews? The God of the Christians? The God of the Muslims?”
The world is funny, so laugh.
Isn’t it funny that humans are busy with artificial intelligence, pharmaceuticals, Netflix, and wars over dubious historical stories, instead of stopping global warming? At this rate, the religious stories about humanity burning in flames will be true. To me, it’s really funny, it’s huge!
Play and not be a spectator in the game
Thinking focused on the activity itself, without distractions or thoughts of other things, is often called a state of “flow.” Flow occurs when a person is completely immersed in the activity they are performing, so that all attention and awareness merge completely with that action. In such a state, the person does not think about what was or what will be, but is fully present in the here and now. This feeling is accompanied by high concentration and a feeling of deep involvement, to the point that time seems to disappear, and the boundaries between the person and the activity blur. In a state of flow, the person feels increased satisfaction and happiness, because the experience itself becomes a reward, and annoying thoughts or external worries do not penetrate their consciousness. This experience allows for the full expression of abilities and skills, and leads to a sense of meaning, satisfaction and deep enjoyment from the action itself.
Yes, a little effort – great health
It all starts in the factory that produced us.
In places where there are no unequivocal studies (usually there are none), I think one should apply logic and weigh everything into a smart “bet” with free thought.
Here I present what I have concluded so far.
Yes, there is such a factory, it’s called Mr. Evolution or, if you will, natural selection. That’s how we and every living creature on Earth were created. The great benefit is to understand what was in the past from various clues and findings and to conclude how best to proceed today.
Life on Earth began about 4 billion years ago as simple, single-celled organisms in an environment very different from today. These single-celled organisms slowly evolved into multicellular organisms over hundreds of millions of years. Life first appeared in the sea, and it was not until about 500 million years ago that the first organisms began to colonize land.
About 400 million years ago, the first fish-like vertebrates evolved in the oceans, and then, about 230 million years ago, the age of dinosaurs began, which were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates for over 160 million years until an asteroid impact and other factors led to their extinction 65 million years ago.
This extinction paved the way for mammals to become the dominant species. Early mammals were small, nocturnal, and lived in the shadow of dinosaurs, but they diversified rapidly after the dinosaurs disappeared.
About 7 million years ago, the lineages of humans and chimpanzees split, and hominids appeared. The first species in the genus Homo, Homo habilis, appeared about 2 million years ago, followed by Homo erectus. Homo sapiens, modern humans, evolved in Africa about 300,000 years ago.
Early Homo sapiens began to make complex tools, develop language, and create social structures, setting the stage for the rise of human civilization. Since then, Homo sapiens has continued to evolve and adapt to a wide variety of environments around the world.
The big mistake leads to the big gain
The great mistake of humanity stems from the mismatch between how humans were shaped over millions of years of evolution and the modern way of life, which pushes for short-term rewards. The great magic is in combining the good things from modernization with ancient life. And yes, the most important thing, as before, is your tribe, who you go “hunting” with.
If you think, as I did, that a daily run and eating food that is considered “healthy” will make you healthy, you are as wrong as I was, and I will try to prevent you from making my mistake here.
Most diseases are caused by the “poisoning” we inflict on ourselves from food that is not suitable for us. There is a huge gain in understanding what is not suitable for us as Homo sapiens.
The big gain with little effort is from the food we eat.
The thing that affects health the most is the food we eat, here you will read about free nutrition . The truth is that this is not accurate, relationships are more important to our health, but we will ignore that for now. Unlike other things, food enters us in large quantities and is therefore the most important factor in health, more than sports, more than our genes, more than luck. Here I have summarized the principles of what is right to eat and what is not . If you do not eat right, all health problems are the symptom and not the problem. This will change your life. If I had to say what would have an immediate and unexpected effect on you, it would be to completely avoid wheat products. There is a substance in wheat that disrupts metabolism.
The bottom line is that food that is not suitable for humans causes most of the world’s health problems, and in exactly the same way, improper movement (walking and running) and improper posture (standing, sitting and lying down) cause most of the other problems. Our bodies were built for specific movement and food during our millions of years of evolution, and modernization has ignored this.
How you respond to an event, not the event itself, creates infinite profit.
One of the things we lose sight of is our reaction to good and bad events.
It is not the event that affects us, but our reaction to the event. No matter what happened, death, life, explosion or a new planet – stop and slow down, consider what the right way to respond is, if at all, and only when you are completely calm do you react. That’s how I always acted. Even when they told me that our bank account for the business was being closed. I always tried to learn and profit from the bad news. Today I understand that events are less important than our decision with ourselves to respond to them how we want, and not let our emotions control us or our reactions. I know it’s hard, but if you practice it, it’s relatively easy.
The immediate, thoughtless response is more appropriate for the savannah when a lion attacked us. So the next time you want to explode at someone because they told you you did something wrong, stop, slow down, think about it, and when you’re calm, answer them, “Remind me what you wanted from my life?”
Breathe like you used to from your nose and stomach
A hint that we were meant to breathe through our noses is found in the Native Americans of the United States, who in ancient times called the white man “the man with the open mouth.” The Native Americans made sure to keep their mouths closed during the day, and mothers made sure that their children also slept with their mouths closed at night. It is not enough to breathe through your nose all day long; you also need to take deep breaths, until your lungs are completely empty. The concentration should be on the exhalation, not the inhalation. This contributes to stability because note that it is only easy to breathe like this when you are upright. If you do not breathe like this, it can cause you: hunched over, annoying coughs, stomach problems from improper digestion, failure to move the stomach and apply pressure from failure to breathe calmly, dental problems of all kinds, more urgent illnesses, and a thousand other things that you and I have not thought of. Note that in a “Western” sitting position, it is difficult to breathe deeply through your nose. No one told me or wrote this, so I had to discover it on my own. Part of the discovery was watching films from the 1800s of Aboriginal people and seeing their stomachs move with their breaths.
Breathing from the abdomen and not the chest
I don’t know if anyone has ever told you this before, but here it comes: humans are built to breathe from the belly, meaning by constantly activating the diaphragm muscles and not by inflating the chest.
Breathing should come from the belly, not the chest. You may not have heard of this before, so here’s the scoop: We may breathe through the belly, that is, by using the diaphragm muscles, rather than by expanding the chest. Expanding the chest is appropriate in emergency situations, such as if a lion is chasing you, but not as a regular practice. Chest breathing and belly breathing both bring air into the lungs, but the question is which muscles are involved in the process.
The chest muscles are unable to empty the lungs of air and do not reach the air in the lower part of the lungs, which contains high levels of CO2. Breathing from the chest leaves a lot of CO2 in the body, which can affect various systems in the body, including digestion and sleep, and increase acidity. Many people suffer from problems with the way they breathe, and sometimes solve this with medication instead of focusing on the root of the problem. The solution is simple: breathe out air until the lungs are almost empty, then they fill up naturally. The key is to change the way you breathe independently until your body gets used to it. You can also use tape to close your mouth during the night to prevent breathing from your mouth, which can encourage chest breathing. This is an important point and easy to correct. How do you know if you are breathing from your chest? Place your hand on your chest as you breathe and see if it moves.
Always breathe through your nose.
I saw the ad for “conscious breathing course” in one of the largest hospitals in Israel:
“Conscious breathing is a breathing technique that encourages the body and mind to release what is hidden and concealed within them. A tool that helps create inner strength, cope with stressful situations, and connect to internal resources that already exist.”
It was written with a spiritual scent, when there is nothing spiritual about it. You have to breathe through your nose. Otherwise you will cough, your nose will be stuffy, your teeth will be problematic and you will have many other problems that you will never know stem from breathing through your mouth. Now we can begin this important section.
Humans are designed to breathe only through the nose in a “quiet” state at a low rate (6-12 breaths per minute, probably) quiet and deep. Proper breathing affects our posture, sleep, and more – a podcast on the topic . A nice test is to crouch down and try to breathe through the nose – you’ll see it’s easier through the mouth – and this is probably one of the reasons why adults tend to breathe through the mouth and not the nose.
Chest breathing is often caused by snoring, which increases chest breathing. The problem with breathing is that the air does not completely exit the lungs, which increases CO2 in the body. Diaphragmatic breathing until the lungs are empty is much easier and is required with proper upright posture.
Children who breathe through their mouths as a permanent habit
It is possible to change the way children breathe by explaining and observing them.
A child who breathes through their mouth will suffer from dental problems, asthma, an underdeveloped jaw, bad breath, and a host of other problems. I have seen both of my sons breathe through their mouths and not their noses on many occasions. We constantly remind them to breathe through their noses, and they are in the process of weaning themselves off of mouth breathing.
Most animals breathe through their noses.
Most animals in nature breathe through their noses at normal times. Only during times of hunting or heat will you see them breathing through their mouths. Most types of monkeys breathe through their noses. Snoring is breathing through their mouths while sleeping.
Snoring? You probably breathe through your mouth while you sleep – try putting duct tape over your mouth while you sleep so you can only breathe through your nose. Try not to choke.
George Catlin ‘s book showed that the Indians breathed through their noses and made sure their children did the same.
Humans are designed to breathe through the nose, a breath that releases nitrite oxide, day and night. Mouth breathing causes a host of diseases and problems, including dental problems, mental stress, asthma, and coughing.
When you exercise free thought and examine how animals breathe, you discover that most animals breathe through their noses, and so should humans.
Mouth breathing creates many different problems because we were not designed to breathe through our mouths for long periods of time. Hunter-gatherers breathed through their noses like most animals in the wild. Try to breathe through your nose and from your diaphragm, not your chest. Take quiet, deep, slow breaths.
When you don’t breathe through your nose, it gets clogged.
Breathing through the mouth over time clogs the nose, meaning using the nose to breathe leaves it open. Mouth breathing causes many problems – lecture ( Article on nasal breathing).
Video on how to unclog a blocked nose .
Breathing through the nose is especially important in situations of stress or anger. Breathing through the mouth only intensifies stress and anger, so it is always a good idea to breathe through the nose in every situation.
The big secret of nose breathing
Chest breathing usually indicates a hunched posture, which makes it more difficult to breathe “belly breathing” and over the years we work towards “chest breathing.”
The big secret is that you have to decide that this is how you breathe from now on, and that’s it, it’s over, it’s solved. You don’t need therapists and doctors or tests. You just breathe through your nose.
Problems related to mouth breathing
Cough, constant coughing, runny nose, stuffy nose, bad breath, diseased teeth, sinusitis, frequent respiratory illnesses, open mouth, snoring, asthma, apnea, shortness of breath, stress and lack of concentration.
Relationships have the greatest gain.
One study that explains it all
There are things that seem very obvious when you hear them from someone else, but are hard to come by on your own. This happened to me and I was completely surprised when I came across this Harvard study , which was the most comprehensive and longest study ever done on people on Earth. During the study, they followed people for decades and came to the conclusion that the thing that most affects our health and happiness is our relationships. The great thing about the study was that they asked people in their present and not in their past.
You don’t always have to listen to research, but this study is very worth listening to because it comes from a very prestigious and credible place and also because its results align perfectly with what I’ve seen in others and with a lot of evolutionary logic. Evolution has selected the people who know how to maintain personal relationships and rewards them with better health and happiness.
In a nature film about chimpanzees, you see one of the chimpanzees go on a hike and return alone. On the way back, a rival troop of chimpanzees kills him. This shows how nature naturally selected for the trait of sociability in humans. A large portion of the unsociable ones simply did not pass on the genes.
You are not born with the value of relationships.
Financial gain is a basic instinct, you don’t have to learn it, but you do have to learn to think about profit in every decision, but not just about financial gain. What was hidden from my eyes all these years, when I thought that financial gain was the highest goal, that in fact these are relationships. I would have changed several decisions in my life, if I had understood this point earlier. And I mean all types of relationships: family, romantic, friendly and business.
Once you understand that there is a hidden profit here, you can easily invest in long-term relationships. This should be a consideration in every decision or activity.
Quality of connection, not quantity
You probably had the closest friend or girlfriend in childhood, maybe three of them, and probably later in life as well. It’s not just that you remember only them, it turns out that in order to achieve personal gain and quality of life, it’s much more significant to maintain a limited number of quality relationships than to manipulate many superficial ones. It reminds me a bit of the universal rule “quality” not “quantity”. And of course the framework jumped out at me, that when it comes to money, it’s not true, it’s only the quantity. The Harvard study confirms this claim.
So no matter what activity you’re doing with friends today, keep doing it. It used to be “hunting,” but today it can be anything.
One who loves
I grew up with two loving parents, but not everyone grows up or was raised like that.
Logic and evolution show that it is enough to have one caregiver who takes care of the child, so that the child can overcome most of what he goes through and develop self-confidence and a good life, but yes, the child needs at least one of them. In English, this is called a caregiver. Over the hundreds of thousands of years of Homo sapiens’ development, both parents were not always available and sometimes both were not available at all, and it was the tribe that raised the children, but there was someone who took care of the child and was there for him. The Harvard study did confirm that one such relationship is enough to cover up crises, a lack of such a relationship causes many problems in the development of children. Think of it this way, the child “practices” trusting someone and learns what a “relationship” is.
So if you’re a single mother, a single father, or just a child’s closest caregiver, it’s okay, just be there for him or her, and everything will work out, millions of Homo sapiens grew up to be great hunters.
Being at a healthy weight is not about the amount of food you eat.
It’s unbelievable how the body balances everything.
Balance in the human body, also called “homeostasis,” is essential for maintaining a stable internal environment that allows cells and organs to function optimally. Don’t break down here, keep reading until the end of the section because there’s a punchline. Key aspects of homeostasis include, among others, blood sugar, water balance, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and blood pressure, which if out of balance, the body will deteriorate and die, sometimes taking years, as in the case of sugar, and sometimes minutes, as in the case of salts.
Blood sugar, or glucose, is the main source of energy for cells. The body regulates glucose levels using the hormones insulin and glucagon. Insulin, produced by the pancreas, helps cells take up glucose from the bloodstream and lowers blood sugar levels. Glucagon, also produced by the pancreas, stimulates the liver to release stored glucose and raises blood sugar levels. This delicate balance ensures that cells get the energy they need while preventing high or low blood sugar levels.
Water balance
Water balance is essential for maintaining proper hydration and electrolyte levels. The kidneys play a central role in regulating water balance by filtering the blood and adjusting the amount of water that is reabsorbed or excreted as urine. Hormones such as antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and aldosterone also help regulate water balance by affecting kidney function. In addition, the sensation of thirst encourages people to consume fluids and further aids in maintaining proper hydration.
Nitrogen levels in the body are related to nitrogen balance, which refers to the balance between nitrogen intake and excretion. Nitrogen is consumed primarily in the form of dietary protein and excreted as urea by the kidneys. Proper nitrogen balance is essential for maintaining healthy muscle mass, tissue repair, and immune function.
Oxygen and CO2 balance
Homeostasis of oxygen and carbon dioxide involves the respiratory system and the circulatory system. Oxygen is required for cellular respiration, a process that produces energy by breaking down glucose. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of this process. Oxygen is transported through the bloodstream by hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells. The respiratory system maintains oxygen levels by adjusting the rate and depth of breathing according to the body’s needs. Carbon dioxide is removed from the body during exhalation.
How do you create an unbalanced system? We breathe short breaths when the chest muscles expand the lungs and not the diaphragm. Simply put, the son should first go down and then go up on his own like a spring. This way the air from the bottom of the lungs, which has more CO2, will be pushed out. Hollow breathing from the chest creates excess CO2 in the body and problems with digestion and other body systems.
Blood pressure balance
Blood pressure is regulated to ensure that blood is delivered to tissues and organs efficiently. The body adjusts blood pressure through a combination of factors, including blood vessel contraction and relaxation, heart rate, and blood volume. Hormones such as angiotensin II, natriuretic peptides, and vasopressin, as well as the nervous system, play a crucial role in regulating blood pressure.
Other factors that contribute to homeostasis in the human body include body temperature, pH balance, and hormone production. Balance or homeostasis is a complex interplay of different systems and processes that work together to maintain a stable internal environment that allows the body to function optimally.
Equilibrium – a small mental effort for an unimaginable gain
Yes, everyone can profit here, and it doesn’t matter how you use this information, whether you start a company or apply it to yourself. Because there is another mechanism that science and humanity have forgotten about, and that is our balance mechanism that exists in each of us. This is the mechanism that prevents us from gaining weight and losing weight without control when we are children, and then by eating foods that are not suitable for us, we actually damage the weight balance mechanism, just like we damage the sugar regulation mechanism. It’s not about the amount of food, but only the type of food. If you missed it, I say again, it’s not the amount of food or the number of calories, but the type of food that damages our natural ability to balance.
Have you seen a squirrel with a belly?
We see this mechanism working perfectly in animals in nature that do not gain weight even though they sometimes have inexhaustible food sources. Natural selection created the weight regulation mechanism so that exposure to a certain food will not cause the animal to gain weight and be eaten. And this is perhaps the most important point that you will take with you, people think that what is important is fitness or diet, but what is important is not to harm the body’s natural weight balance, and we can help it with this by switching to a diet that is suitable for humans. This mechanism exists in each and every one of us. Eating foods that are not suitable for humans, such as sweets and unleavened wheat products, harms the weight balance mechanism. It is not about the amount of food, but only the type of food. The most important thing is to be at a normal weight, which is actually different for everyone, so what is important is not how much we eat or what physical activity we do. Wheat in particular contains substances that harm the body’s weight regulation mechanism, but the good news is that a free diet will heal the weight regulation mechanism, just as most types of diabetes will disappear with eating food adapted for humans for a few months.
The most common and most damaging to the weight balance mechanism
The food that the world produces in the largest quantities is also the food that is most unsuitable for humans: wheat products (bread, pasta, etc.), industrial eggs, cow’s milk, soy, corn, rice, oil, salt, and sugar. Each of them has its own reason, but most often, it is related to the cheapening of production on the one hand and the unsuitability of the industrial product for humans, on the other. What is good for industry is often not good for our health. Science supports this and so does logic. And yes, everyone is wrong, they do not treat the problem, but the symptom.
It is important to exercise free thinking about technology
Who created us?
The essence of man is natural. Nature created us, modernization only tries to touch what drives us, but in fact it is a counterfeit of the real things that drive us, created from millions of years of evolution in nature: wars, friends, hunting, laughter, love, survival, cold, heat, singing, dancing, death and life in the spaces of nature.
What has technology given us?
Technology for a good life has existed for several thousand years. The phrase ‘good life’ refers to the prosperity of citizens, that is, happiness and the level of satisfaction with life. Over the years, humans have developed technology that provides them with a better life, such as watering the fields, lighting fires, raising goats, wearing warm clothes, building houses, fishing, dancing, and hunting.
Technology has given humans the ability to reproduce on Earth to several billion people, but has it really contributed to our prosperity?
Does it help or hinder?
Take the cell phone as an example. It hasn’t improved people’s lives, it’s only made them closer to it and less to other people. Studies show that having relationships is the thing that has the greatest impact on the quality of our lives, so the cell phone is harming the most important thing to humans because it physically distances us from other people.
I know what you’re thinking, the car is an invention that has really improved our lives. In my opinion, the car has ruined much more than it has improved. Before cars and trains, life was lived in the countryside. It wasn’t a bad life. In my opinion, the prevailing perception today that you have to travel all the time and be all over the world is wrong and doesn’t help our happiness at all. In the past, when there were no cars, everything had to be close, and people didn’t “spend” hours on the road. The car simply allows many people to be in many places during the day.
And yes, I have a car, there’s no choice.
I think that what has really advanced humanity is the “cultural technology” of courts, individual freedom, protection of property, protection of the body, a democratic regime, social protection, etc. For example, researchers found that in Equatorial Guinea, a murder case led to more and more murders as a blood feud and created an endless chain of wars (like blood feuds in Arab society). Today we have the “cultural technology” of law, police, and courts that handle such cases.
Naturalism and anti-technology
Anti-technology is here in the health section because in the same way that technology does not really contribute to humanity, but only “cultural technology,” so too for our health it is better to rely on nature and “cultural technology” to feel good and be healthy. Everything that is written in health here, there is no technology at all, there are only ways that try to imitate life in nature.
Thus, the best food for us is food that has not been “touched” by technology and is as natural as possible.
You can’t go out without your mobile phone.
Today we have reached a point where it is difficult to leave the house without a cell phone, because you need to open the car, pay at the supermarket, or receive some important WhatsApp message.
Therefore, in free thought, I use technology to make money, glean information, and communicate because there is no other choice, but I try to stay away from technology as much as possible. It’s not easy. I also like Netflix, WhatsApp, and Spotify. Western society is driven by technology and places humanity’s hopes on it, like Elon Musk who sees space technology as an option for saving humanity. I think in free thought, of course, it’s exactly the opposite, hopes should be in nature.
In a free environment, I hold the exact opposite of Elon Musk. To save the Earth from becoming a hot soup, we must use cultural technology and change our consumption habits, not flee the Earth on the first rocket to Mars. I have a feeling that we were meant to live on Earth, not on another planet…
A child with meaning
Earn the child in you
It’s not for nothing that there is so much preoccupation, even among poets and singers, with our childhood, there’s something there that stays with you all the years.
But in free thought, I, and I hope you too, are looking for the least effort for the greatest gain, and there is something interesting about the gain here, this time it is a non-monetary gain. Your gain will be if you manage to remain children for a large part of the time. Be children.
Look inward, not just outward.
We have a tendency to focus only on our external environment to achieve a good life.
This is a classic mistake. When you ask people what they would like, most of them would say “money.”
Money nicely arranges our external environment, but also, only to a certain extent. But it does not help us understand that it is equally necessary and important to look inward. Our quality of life, or in other words, to achieve a good life, we also need to look inward. Maybe it sounds obvious, but it was not so clear to me. Looking inward is different for everyone, so I will not elaborate on that.
Children and Tribes
Anthropologists study tribes because that’s their profession. I study anthropologists and tribes to understand what actions and traits we had in evolution that have disappeared due to modernization. Leavening bread is an action that has pretty much disappeared today. Raising all the children of a tribe together is another interesting example that has relatively disappeared and that exists more in moshavim and kibbutzim. A large part of the understanding of how to walk correctly, how to stand upright, what to drink and everything you’ll read here stems from this free thinking that was prevalent in ancient tribes, how they lived, what they got sick with, why they smiled and everything that implies. Looking at my children sometimes feels like looking at an ancient tribe. Many of their traits are basic and natural, and modernization has not affected them. Like, for example, thinking about what to buy a child and making sure that everyone gets the same thing. That is, comparing themselves to the person next to them, jealousy and the spirit of justice.
The freedom to choose meaning
Have you ever seen a child building something out of Lego and concentrating on it as if it were the most important thing in the world, looking at the creation as the most beautiful structure ever created?
Every moment is significant for children, and they determine what is significant for them, no one else decides for them. But in observation, we can often see that what is perceived as significant for the parents is also perceived that way by the children. This is a survival process in which children learn from their parents. If you saw your father running away from a snake, this is an event that you should see as significant, because it probably evolved from animals much more ancient than humans. Just as a child finds meaning in a lot of things, so we need to deal with what has meaning for us, not for others. And this is the critical point, no one can decide what is significant for you. Financial gain and play were the significant things for me until a late age, but they are probably not significant for others. Research and logic show that it is not the search for happiness that will make us happy, but finding meaning, being a person with meaning. The search for happiness itself causes unhappiness, that is certain.
One big game
There is a great benefit in seeing everything as a game and not taking life too seriously. When everything is a game, you are not afraid of anything.
There is a great loss in thinking that children need expensive products and experiences to be happy. This is entirely due to the envy bias . From watching my own children and myself along with reading research, it is completely clear to me that children ultimately enjoy being with friends and playing the most. That’s it. It’s really simple when you look at it clearly with free thought.
I’ve always seen everything as a game, the army, school, Beejack, Play65, Plus500 because they’re all games. Let me go onto some field, soccer, basketball, tennis, squash or poker court and just play with the company. It’s that simple.
In the army, I was in a captains’ course for a month. I remember the commander in the course asked me why I kept laughing during the parade. I laughed because it was a game for me and it was strange to see everyone standing like that.
I just don’t see free thought as a game, but as something that can do good.
Balance is important.
Of course, what I have written here is not exhaustive and that you always need to exercise balance. Not everything in life is a game, but not everything is as significant and serious as we think, and you can’t act like a child all the time. It is an important rule in free thought to exercise judgment and balance.
A house without temptations for huge profits
One place to profit from is to understand that there is no temptation “muscle” that can be trained. Our eyes are responsible for making the brain want something.
Of course, it is much more difficult for children to resist temptations like watching YouTube and not doing homework.
So if you want to eat specific foods or not eat cookies or just use your cell phone less, make sure they are far away from you.
This answers the eternal question, “Should we put a candy drawer in the house?” Definitely not, it’s just an unnecessary temptation for children.
And if you want to play sports, make the “temptation” look good, meaning put your sports clothes in a visible place.
Want a comfortable learning environment, where there will be no mobile phone or anything else you prefer to do, this also applies to a good environment for a child to learn. It is recommended to read about the winning habit .
The huge gain from exhaling to emptying the lungs
A deep exhalation causes an arch in the back and lifting force, try it. In my opinion, uprightness is supported by a deep exhalation until the lungs are empty, which causes our core muscles to stretch us correctly. In other words, our breathing, which changes over the years, causes us to slouch. Of course, one of the things that changes breathing is sitting, something we do that we didn’t do as much in the past. Therefore, the recommendation is to sit only on the floor without a backrest, make sure that your breathing is in order.
One of the important principles that they won’t tell you is that posture and the way you move and stand can be easily changed. It’s just understanding how to stand and move. It all comes down to one force that we have everywhere in the body, which is activated by muscles, and that is the desire to be upright, which is at its peak when we are babies and with the help of Western sitting on chairs and walking in shoes, it gradually weakens. The power to stand up that is in the subconscious must be transferred to the conscious when we destroy it, and discover through pain and cartilage erosion that something is wrong. To train the brain to the correct position of the upper part, sit on the floor comfortably and without slouching: Eastern sitting and all sitting on the floor. With old age and sitting on chairs, the brain slowly gets used to slouching. You can fight this. In the picture, notice that the head is in the correct position and there is an arch in the back when sitting but not in the lower part of the back.
The solution to most joint problems
The lifting force and the correct posture were created when we were babies and sat on the floor. The correct arch in the back and the reverse curvature of the lower back. Which should be activated throughout the body from the neck to the feet, starting with raising the head and the arch in the back, just like the baby in the picture. This arranges correct walking, correct standing and correct running. There is one place that needs to be activated when pushing up and it arranges the entire body – it is the arch in the back. You only need to think about one thing: as if someone is pulling us up and that someone is just us and the source is from that arch towards the head. Nothing more is needed. It also doesn’t make sense to concentrate on a few points, evolution probably created one place that affects the rest of the muscles through the subconscious.
How is the right strength built? It starts when we are babies and is destroyed by modernization, each at a different age. Notice that it is reversed. Babies constantly want to lift themselves up with the arch in their backs.
It is an infinite gain to understand this. It prevents knee problems, back, neck, flat feet, hip problems and herniated discs. It is not all because of this, but most likely all these problems are due to incorrect movement and posture, which does not match how our body is supposed to move and be. Why are Africans upright? Because most of them did not sit for hours in class and in front of a computer, which is the number one killer, due to the buoyancy force of the subconscious that of course activates the erect muscles without us thinking about it. The subconscious makes us break without thinking how to move our lips. How to drive. Now, like after a stroke, you need to learn to activate the buoyancy force. It may be until the rest of your life until it is captured again in the subconscious.
By “once” I mean thousands of years ago, when there were no shoes or cars and people walked most of the day from place to place. A detailed way of thinking about how they once walked, according to the laws of free thought.
Angle between the two feet
Pay attention to your feet as you walk: if they are turned slightly outward, you are in good shape. If they are completely straight, this can cause cartilage wear in the hip, knee and ankle joints. O-shaped feet can make the situation worse, as they cause the natural angle to disappear. A correct and healthy gait involves a slight outward angle – watch the walk of people with good posture, and you will be able to clearly see this.
In normal walking, the foot is at a slight external angle (pointing slightly outward) to allow for stability, proper load distribution, and efficiency in movement. This angle (approximately 5 to 10 degrees outward) allows for:
Stability – a wider base to support the body.
Better shock absorption – reducing stress on the knee and ankle joints.
Efficiency in moving the body forward – optimal utilization of the thigh and calf muscles.
Excessive or insufficient angle can cause improper loading and lead to injuries.
Stepping on the ankle while walking
Humans are built to land on their ankles first when walking. This is the correct gait seen in natives, but in many people it has changed due to modernization.
The ankle and heel bone area is biologically designed to absorb shock effectively. When we step on the back of the foot (the heel), our body utilizes the natural shock absorption system built into the bones and muscles in this area. This is the way humans are designed to walk – from the heel to the forefoot.
Shoes with an inward slope (elevated heel), which is actually the majority of shoes today, shift the body’s weight forward, causing excessive strain on the forefoot. This changes the natural gait mechanism, where the stride begins with the heel. As a result, an unnatural load is created on the ankle, knee and hip, which leads to cartilage wear, tendonitis and pain. Over time, this can cause posture problems and chronic injuries.
Beauty in erection through evolution
You’re probably asking yourself why it looks good when people are upright?
The answer is because of evolution, a trait we are attracted to usually helps produce suitable offspring. Erection necessarily brought a physical advantage and, as a result, a mental advantage, so the attraction to erection passed on the genes.
The good thing is that we didn’t learn what beautiful movement and posture are. Look at a two-year-old child, a hunched person and an upright person. He immediately knew what was strong and beautiful and what was ugly and weak.
We stopped moving our pelvis correctly when walking.
Pelvic sway and toe pushing are essential parts of the body’s natural movement, enabling smooth and efficient walking. Pelvic sway is a movement in which the pelvis moves from side to side with each step, with a slight rotation around the spine. This movement allows the body’s center of gravity to move in a balanced manner, distributing the load on the legs and lower back and maintaining stability. At the same time, pushing with your fingers with each step helps propel the body forward smoothly and economically.
These movements improve posture, strengthen the core, hips, and abdominal muscles, and reduce stress on joints, such as the knees and lower back. They help absorb shock from each step, preventing unnecessary strain and wear on the joints.
However, with modernization, the modern lifestyle has become more passive, with prolonged sitting, shoes that restrict natural mobility, and infrastructure that facilitates passive movement such as cars and elevators. As a result, many people have lost the ability to perform a natural gait with pelvic swing and proper toe push-off, which weakens the muscles and leads to a heavy, unbalanced gait.
Lack of pelvic movement while walking can cause a number of problems in the hips and ankles, as the body’s natural, balanced movement is impaired. Here are some of the main effects:
Increased load on the hips: When the pelvis does not move naturally, the hips are forced to bear increased load with each step. Instead of distributing the load evenly, the pressure is concentrated in certain areas of the hip joints. This can lead to accelerated wear and tear on the joints and chronic hip pain.
Reduced range of motion in the hips: Lack of pelvic mobility limits the range of motion in the hips. This can result in difficulty performing basic movements such as bending over, climbing stairs, or walking briskly. This gradually weakens the muscles around the hips.
Increased stress on the ankles: Lack of pelvic movement creates a stiffer movement while walking, which increases the load on the ankles. Instead of the ankle moving naturally with each step, the stress on the ankle joint increases, which can lead to inflammation, sprains, or stability problems.
Posture problems and unbalanced gait: When the pelvis does not participate in movement, the body struggles with incorrect posture. The ankles are forced to compensate for the lack of movement, which can lead to wear and tear on the ankle joints and limited flexibility.
We walked barefoot most of the time.
Let’s start with a joke: walking or running barefoot hurts your feet, so it’s recommended to buy running shoes with shock absorbers.
This is more Achitophelian advice than a joke. The earliest date they have found shoes is 40,000 years ago and most are from about 5,000 years ago. In fact, there are tribes that until recently still walked barefoot. And all this compared to millions of years of ape-man running barefoot without shock absorbers. Just as a horse doesn’t need a hoof to run, humans don’t really need shoes for their natural actions.
What is a shoe?
Our bodies were built to run and walk “knowing” that we don’t have shoes, so shoes inevitably change the way we walk, run, or stand. By applying logic to this information, we come to the conclusion, with free thought, that the shoes that are right for us are shoes that simulate barefoot walking with a wide sole that won’t crush all the toes together and won’t elevate any part of the foot.
And yes, everything they sell us about shoes with shock absorbers and the like as if we need shock absorbers is basically a huge bluff. Feel free to go barefoot.
Walk straight and upright, wear flat shoes that simulate a bare foot. Shoes that are not flat encourage unnatural movements and prevent natural joint movements.
We were born barefoot.
We were born barefoot, adapted to move and be in certain positions. Like “hardware with an operating system that we are born with” – improper operation causes endless problems of cartilage wear and back and neck pain. Over the years, we lose the correct way we were meant to move. From generation to generation we become inactive, sit like our parents and wear various and strange shoes that harm our posture – high heels, moccasins, and the like. We evolved to walk barefoot, and therefore the way we walk is damaged by using shoes that are not good and cause a variety of problems with our joints, back, and emotional state. In fact, each generation becomes more hunched over than the previous one. It is amazing to see the tribes that have not assimilated into Western culture – how upright they are and how strong their back and butt muscles are compared to us. Fortunately, this can be corrected by improving posture, walking, standing, and sitting.
Spring foot
It’s not enough to walk as if we’re barefoot, we also need to walk correctly. Our correct gait has been destroyed over the years due to high-heeled shoes, watching our parents whose gait has also changed, the compression of the toes by shoes and the entire foot becoming one block even though it is flexible and made up of many muscles and bones. When walking, the back leg has to resist the front leg and “as if” stretch a spring. This keeps the hip in the correct position.
But in what way did evolution adapt walking? Of course, walking with minimal energy expenditure, which increased the probability of surviving better than others. In the formula of free thought, this frames the way evolution works. And a step down from the rule of nature to a lower level, which is walking. Therefore, the optimal form of walking is when we stretch the leg and it supposedly returns to its natural position on its own. Think of the leg as a spring, we stretch it and it contracts on its own. The same is true with running. Many people make the mistake of applying force with each step, and then it is double the energy. This means that you need to walk and run in relatively small steps when the whole body is stretched and upright, and then the legs contract on their own. When walking, the leg is supposed to straighten and at the end of the step the toes press the ground. If you don’t do both of these, you have a “forward gait”, a gait that causes problems in the hip, knee and ankles. If you have flat feet, it is probably due to your incorrect walking style as I described. The important conclusion here is that cartilage wear and various problems in the joints of the legs are often caused by incorrect walking or running. It sounds a bit crazy, but with freedom of thought we are allowed to reach the truth even if not everyone likes it.
The oldest and best sport in the world
The oldest sport in the world is walking in nature and it is probably also the best for us. It’s so simple – walking. We may be mistaken and think that walking is unnecessary because we hardly sweat and don’t feel exhausted, but that’s a mistake, walking is the best sport for us.
When it comes to an activity that is ancient, there is a greater chance that we are adapted to it anyway. In the past, we were active and did not need to do sports to be healthy. Today, it is important that we do sports to simulate how people lived in the past. Because they really did. Do the oldest sport in the world and the one that suits us best – “walking!” for at least an hour a day. In addition, it is important to walk correctly and if possible then – preferably in nature. A good explanation of proper walking , towards the end of the video – Walking . The most natural walking is when we are barefoot, as we walked for millions of years. But there are also shoes that simulate walking barefoot with a very thin sole.
Jumping in the head
At this point, a fairly logical question is usually asked: A – Many people walk in shoes with shock absorbers and have no problem. There are also those who smoke at the age of 100 or those who eat wheat bread and are healthy until old age. There are genes that help deal with toxins, but I wouldn’t recommend you bet that you have them. Some people have a foot structure that is probably more tolerant of shoes with heights and the like, and some are less so. What is true is that we are all designed to walk barefoot or with flat shoes as much as possible.
Flat feet, flat feet and insoles, huh?
Of course, when you use the “tool of doubt” on insoles, you realize that they are unnecessary and redundant. Insoles move the problem to another joint. With free thought, we will bring information from Africa and discover that the rate of people with flat feet, or as the German name suggests, ‘Platfuss,’ is a minor percentage compared to the rate in Western society, where 20-30% of the population has flat feet. In other words, something we do in Western society causes this! Once again, we see that it is not about screwed-up genes. Of course, when we use free thought, we realize that the cause is probably our shoes, the way we walk, or our weight. All three of these actions affect the forces in the joint.
Here is a quote from this study : “Children with the healthiest, most flexible feet are those who habitually walk barefoot, according to Stahli and a growing number of other pediatric orthopedists. His studies in developing countries show that people who don’t wear shoes have better flexibility and mobility, stronger feet, fewer deformities and fewer complaints than those who wear shoes regularly.”
And here the information, science and logic came together for us, it is worth betting on shoes as the significant cause of flat feet which cause other problems, such as lower back problems or knee problems, which are a symptom and not the problem. The conclusion from free thinking is that insoles are unnecessary for most people who do not have structural problems in their feet.
Where did the foot orthopedist go?
You will hardly hear the conclusion that flat feet are caused by ill-fitting shoes, incorrect walking style, and being overweight from any foot orthopedist in the world. Incorrect walking style is caused by both the structure of the shoes and the fact of walking with shoes and not by walking barefoot. Orthopedists do not think freely, they are smart but they do not try to understand the source of the problem, they rush to treat symptoms: knee pain, hip pain, foot pain, and more. You have to understand and question in order to strive for a solution, it is not a 100% solution, but it worked for me, and I am pretty sure it will work for you too. I wear shoes with a really flat sole, flat sandals, 5-finger shoes , or simply go barefoot. Of course, I also changed my walking style.
Going right
A proper gait is when the leg straightens, the ankle touches the ground first, and all the muscles up to the thigh are activated to straighten the leg. The muscles are not supposed to be activated when the leg bends. Look at people walking – a gait that looks good to the eye is usually a proper gait. Naturally, we are drawn to a proper gait because it conveys health, stability, and strength. From an evolutionary perspective, health is seen as attractive because it expresses the ability to pass on good genes to the next generation.
To practice this, you will have to walk barefoot, only then will the correct natural movements that we are built to perform come. It is very possible that you are lucky and you are walking correctly. The step starts with the heel and moves to the toes, which also push at the end of the step. Models walk closest to the real way in which we are supposed to walk. The head is supposed to look into space, not towards the feet, it is a terrible habit that people have when walking with their heads down, this happens because we look at our mobile phones and it accustoms the head position to looking down.
In nature, submissive animals lower their heads. Lowering their heads symbolizes something ugly and weak, and rightly so.
To check for proper walking, check if you are pushing with your toes at the end of your stride, which is how you are supposed to do it. Most shoes have all the toes compressed because that makes the shoe look nicer, but this goes against the structure of the toes, which should spread out and not contract.
When you think about proper walking, you conclude that it is the cause of knee, hip, lower back, and other problems. We walk most of the day, so it is better to improve what we do most of the day. Yes, it is difficult to rewire your brain to walk and move in a new way, but after a few months you will forget how you walked before. The difficulty is changing the movements in different games that you have specialized in, you probably did them crouching, and now you will have to be upright.
Running right
To practice proper running, you need to run barefoot. You will quickly see that you land on the ball of your foot, taking small steps with an upright back and straightening legs.
Only after you run barefoot, try running like this with shoes. Minimalist shoes are preferable, you will see that with regular running shoes it is impossible to simulate barefoot running.
The way we are built to run – a technical explanation of running .
As with walking, it’s hard to rewire your brain to run and new fast movements, but after a few months you’ll forget how you ran before. Obviously, for a baby who sees their parents running correctly, the brain is wired more easily and stays that way for life, but from what I see, most people don’t run correctly, so you need to quickly change the way you run without seeing your parents run correctly.
Correct neck position
What most people don’t understand, and if you do, you’ll make a huge profit, is that neck pain often stems from incorrect neck posture that is far from how we’re supposed to be with our necks. The neck is supposed to have an arch, it’s not supposed to be straight. Usually, looking down and at screens causes the neck to straighten. Here you’ll see a picture of how the neck is supposed to be. The arch is necessary to maintain proper pressure on the neck. Just like in construction, when an arch balances the pressures along the arch, a cervical arch balances the forces acting on the vertebrae and the disc. When the neck straightens, there is pressure on specific points in the neck, which causes a herniated disc.
Look at your neck from the side in the mirror, the beautiful posture is also the correct one. If your neck has straightened, it doesn’t mean that you can’t restore its arch. You can do this by thinking and implementing the actions that will restore the beautiful shape you saw in the mirror.
How do you stay with proper walking and running?
Proprioception is the body’s ability to sense and understand the position, movement, and orientation of different body parts in relation to each other and the environment, without the need for vision or conscious thought. It is an internal sensory mechanism that allows us to perform coordinated and precise movements, maintain balance and posture, and respond quickly to changes in body position.
Very simple, at first we force ourselves to walk and run correctly and after a few weeks the habit is absorbed, just like when we were little and imitated our parents or the group we were in.
Studies show that it takes 21 days to develop a new habit. You can realign your entire body just by walking and running correctly. 21 days of focus will bring big gains with little effort.
The amount of time it takes for the body to adopt a new posture automatically and without conscious thought varies from person to person and depends on a number of factors. However, studies on habit formation suggest that it takes an average of 21 to 66 days of consistent practice for a new habit to become second nature.
Factors affecting the time required:
- Frequency and persistence: The more you persist in practicing the new pose and remind yourself to correct your posture throughout the day, the faster your body will adapt.
- Body awareness: Developing awareness of your movements and posture can speed up the process. Practices like meditation or yoga may help with this.
- Physical condition: The strength and flexibility of the muscles that affect posture can affect the ability to adopt the new position. Strengthening and flexibility exercises can help.
- Complexity of the change: Small, easy-to-implement changes will be adopted more quickly than significant or complex changes.
- Professional support: Working with a physical therapist or posture specialist can speed up the process through personalized guidance and exercises.
Tips for perseverance:
- Use reminders: Set alarms on your phone or use notes to remind yourself to check your posture.
- Incorporate the change into your daily routine: Try practicing the new posture during daily activities, such as while working or watching TV.
- Be patient: Changing habits takes time and persistence. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t feel a change right away.
In order for the body to remember and adopt a new posture unconsciously, it is important to persist in practicing and being aware of the posture over time. Typically, with daily persistence, significant improvement can be seen within a few weeks to months.
Problems related to improper walking
O-shaped feet, ankle pain, flat feet, knee pain, hip pain and lower back problems. Try changing your walking to the old way and your running to the old way, and I believe you will see the difference. By “old” I mean thousands of years ago, when everyone walked correctly.

The point that is hidden from everyone, but not from you
Everyone knows that if there is a knee problem, they go to the doctor or rest.
But many times the problem is simply in the way we walk, and it can be fixed by changing the way we walk to the only way we are supposed to walk. Not only will you gain time, but you will treat the problem itself and not the symptom. And yes, it is just as simple as it sounds and it is as revolutionary as it sounds – simply changing the way you walk or run. It also makes sense, the load should be on the muscles and not on the joints and distributed between the joints.
Correct posture as before
The big benefit of correct posture with little effort
The benefit of proper posture is that we will look beautiful and upright, we will not have the pain that is common to people who sit in chairs of all kinds, and we will save unnecessary visits to doctors, scans, unnecessary surgeries, money, and headaches from all of this.
The great secret of posture that is solved by free thought
The big secret is that once there is a proper arch in the back, the shoulders pull a little towards the 100 and the head is up, this also activates the deep abdominal muscles, the Transversus Abdominis. Weakness or dysfunction of these muscles can cause posture problems, lower back pain, hip, knee, neck and sports injuries, and general instability in the body. The internal abdominal muscles, such as the Transversus Abdominis and the Multifidus, play a critical role in stabilizing the body and their influence on the other muscles takes place through various mechanisms of the nervous system and the subconscious. Look, when they are contracted, the shoulders go back and the legs straighten. It is clear that nature created us to think about one place and not many places at the same time.
You have to decide that this is how you stand and sit from now on, and that’s it, it’s over, it’s solved. You don’t need therapists, doctors, or tests.
With free thought, we also understand that this can cause digestive problems and many other problems because the deep abdominal muscles are relaxed, causing intra-abdominal pressure that is different from what it should be.
Neck position created by correct breathing
The neck position in the picture (“chin tuck”) keeps the cervical spine in a more neutral position, thereby reducing strain on the tissues, vertebrae, and discs.
In this position, breathing empties the lungs and this straightens the neck:
The head aligns above the shoulders and reduces strain on the discs between the vertebrae.
The muscles are better balanced, and the forces act more evenly.
When sitting in front of a computer, most people do the opposite:
The head is pushed forward (“anterior head”), which increases leverage and creates a much higher load on the discs and muscles. Leads to continuous pressure, erosion of cervical cartilage, muscle fatigue, and long-term pain.
Keeping your “chin tucked in” and your neck “long” while sitting, walking, or working at a computer significantly reduces the risk of neck injury.
Correct posture with a proper arch in the back
We have stopped moving the way our bodies are supposed to move, and our posture does not match the correct way it was built over millions of years of evolution. Changing posture in movement and sitting will bring about a dramatic change within a few days. Correct movement is the only way to treat the source of the problem, as long as the condition is not really serious. A spine surgeon talks about the way to treat the problem and not the symptom.
To know the correct way to move and maintain proper posture, there is only one way – to see how people who have not been reached by modernization stand, run, sit, and walk.
Posture and proper standing – an article about posture and also excellent explanations from the past to the present .
Correct ancient sitting
Progress bends us more and more and makes us deviate from the way we were designed to move. Observing the tribes that survived and live as hunter-gatherers allows us to understand how we were designed to sit, etc. Look at babies and you will see that their posture has often not changed from the primitive posture.
Correct sitting – A large portion of people sit for a large part of the day. Sitting on a chair is unnatural to us because it does not activate the core muscles. It is better to sit as they did in the past when the body was not relaxed. Sitting styles from the past
Ours are more suitable for humans.
In this picture too, you can see that the head wants to rise and the arch in the back is maintained. This is the solution to most joint problems.
Moving joints like before
One of the problems of modernization is that a large part of the joints do not move. An important law in the human body is – when a certain organ is not moved or activated, it degenerates and is destroyed, not by us.
The only way to maintain our joints, of which the back and neck are a part, is to move them.

It’s a shame that doctors don’t only profit from successes.
The profit is hidden on the drug shelf
A doctor makes money by giving a prescription, explaining why it’s good, saying goodbye to the patient nicely after ordering some test and calling the next person in line. The patient also expects the prescription. So it works for both parties. Doctors don’t get paid to sit with a patient and explain to them for an hour why they need to change their diet or stop being hunched over. They don’t have the time or the knowledge to sit on people for months until something changes.
Good intentions
Doctors really want to help their patients. 99.9% of doctors want their patients to leave the office in better shape than they came in. There is no profit model for preventive medicine and dietary changes, so the medical establishment does not implement the obvious and natural solutions. Also, doctors do not understand nutrition and have not studied it (in educational institutions, it is true that processed food is not good for humans, the rest is usually not true). Nutrition is responsible for 90% of our health, so it turns out that doctors have no significant influence on our health. Trauma or serious injury medicine works great because the cause is usually accidental.
Why it’s dangerous to listen to dietitians
A dangerous lesson at the Faculty of Nutrition
Dietitians have learned the diet that academia promotes, namely vegetables, fruits, and foods without a lot of fat. This is of course not the diet that humans were naturally selected to eat. I have nothing personal against dietitians, but most of them do not recommend the right diet because they recite what they have learned without exercising free thought. But what they have learned does not align with science and the logic of natural selection. And yes, all dietitians are wrong. They do not understand that plants “want to kill us” by natural toxins that exist in them. In addition, animal fat is very suitable for humans and contributes a lot to cholesterol, which is usually good for us and is used for critical chemical processes.
Why invent new food?
Humans are built to eat the food they have eaten for the past hundreds of thousands of years: fruits (that ripened naturally), animals (that ate grass and not grains) and fish (natural and not pond fish). This is logic without science, but when you look at the science and the empirical results of the experiments, this logic is correct. Think in terms of ‘food suitable for humans’ and not ‘healthy food’. There is no such thing as a superfood. Animals also do not have a superfood, they have food that suits them. The great deception in nutrition (diets not in the sense of losing weight, but a form of nutrition) such as ketogenic, paleo, veganism, vegetarianism, carnivory show improvement for most people and therefore cause confusion, because they eliminate processed food that directly improves health, but they contain problematic ingredients (plant toxins, especially in whole grains, cow’s milk, etc.).
Animals in nature are not fat, even though there are places with endless food for them. We will discuss this later as a mental model that should be applied to humans as well.
Diet in the sense of permanent nutrition and not weight loss
Of course, it’s not good for us to diet in the sense of a set amount of time to lose weight when we want to meet a partner or have just gotten divorced, it will only confuse the body’s systems and you. The right and natural way is to change your lifespan forever.
Plants and vegetables are trying to kill you!
Lectins are some of the toxins in natural food, for example in vegetables, legumes, roots, seeds, tubers, grains and (unripe) fruits.
Lectins have earned their own section because they are very elusive. The person who made me look into them is Dr. Gendry , a heart surgeon from the US who has written several books on the subject , the main one being The Plant Paradox . He is not right about everything, but he is definitely right about lectins. They are found mainly in vegetables and whole grains, but not in all of them. The danger with them is that they affect each person differently. There are lectins that are not good for anyone (gluten) and the rest vary from person to person. Research on the connection between lectins and joint problems and cartilage erosion (a problem that does not exist in tribes).
The toxins are there so that insects and various pests will not eat them. Gluten is a lectin. In ripe fruits, they disappear so that they will eat the fruit and spread the trees with the help of the seeds in the fruit. Science shows that most of the toxins are in the peel, seeds and kernels (logic also shows that it is worth protecting the seeds and kernels, which are most important for plant reproduction, and the peel to protect the fruit before it ripens), so chewing the seeds of fruits and vegetables causes the toxins to be released (the fruit wants you to eat it, but not crush the seeds). In my opinion, these toxins (the lectins in them) are a major factor in a large part of autoimmune diseases and the obesity of the population, mainly from wheat. Here are some substances that these toxins prevent their absorption and here is an excellent lecture on lectins. The best way is to soak, sprout, ferment and cook to eliminate the effect of most toxins.
Metabolic disease
A hidden disease that begins at different ages
Only rarely are animals in nature found to be at their correct weight, how can this be? They surely occasionally encounter an inexhaustible food source, how do they not get fat? Only humans are the animals that get fat when they eat a lot? To settle this point logically, understand that all animals have a weight maintenance mechanism, evolution caused the mechanism to develop because animals that get fat when there is an inexhaustible food source, were simply devoured and not with us. The animals that get fat are the ones that humans feed, such as animals, dogs and cats. And hence comes the free thought that connects logic to science, humans are no different. We have a weight maintenance mechanism that is damaged by a diet that is not suitable for us and animals. Indeed, animals get fat when they are given barley, corn, soy and other grains – food that is not suitable for them. Similarly, humans also get fat from food that is not suitable for us, but the damage is not directly from the food, but because it damages our weight maintenance mechanism. Impairment of the weight maintenance mechanism is called metabolic disease.
Toxins that confuse the weight balance system
The metabolic disease that most of the population suffers from probably stems from an incorrect division between carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the diet, in addition to the toxins in plants and processed food. When there is something that most people suffer from, it means that it is very worthwhile for everyone to check themselves because it is not 1:1,000 but 1:3. There is no need to research what processed food does because there is no chance in the world that it will match the millions of chemical processes in our body. The safest way to heal from metabolic disease is through a free diet . Most people suffer from a curable metabolic disease (metabolic syndrome) and not from a simple obesity problem. It takes a year to recover with the help of the diet designed for us.Excellent research on metabolic disease and its damage to blood vessels. What is important is not the amount of food, but the type of food, and to eat concentrated meals for up to 10 hours a day and the rest of the time to give the digestive system a rest. Everyone has a natural weight, which is usually the weight they were at the age of 18-20 and which they will reach after a period of eating natural food.

How did Native Americans have white teeth without Colgate?
George Catlin was an American painter, writer, and traveler, best known for his portraits of Native American tribes and his documentation of their cultures in the early to mid-19th century. In his travels and interactions with various Native American tribes, Catlin also observed and documented their dental health.
George lived with the Indians and just watched
In his book, “Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the Indians of North America,” Catlin made several observations about the teeth of Indians. He noted that they generally have strong, healthy teeth without cavities and attributed this to their diet and lifestyle. In addition, in his book The Breadth Of Life from 1864, Catlin notes that the Indians used to call the white man Black Mouth, which means “black mouth.” George lived with the Indians for years, he wasn’t lying. He wrote in his books that the Indians kept their mouths closed day and night and saw how Indian mothers would put their children to sleep on their backs and make sure their mouths were closed while they slept. And yes, I’m crazy enough to read his books, they were amazing because they gave a picture of a tribe living in the wild from 1864. You can also order them from Amazon.
From Catlin’s observations we learn of remarkable dental health. Catlin noticed that Native Americans had excellent dental health, with very few cases of tooth decay. He attributed this to their diet, which was rich in natural, unprocessed foods and low in sugars.
Additionally, Catlin noted that some tribes practiced tooth sharpening, where they would file their teeth to sharp points. This was done for aesthetic reasons and as a sign of tribal affiliation. He was impressed by the skill with which this was done, as well as the lack of tooth decay even among those who had their teeth sharpened.
The oral hygiene practices Catlin observed showed that Native Americans practiced oral hygiene using chewing sticks and other natural methods. He believed that these practices, along with their diet, nose breathing, and mouth closed all day, contributed to their overall good dental health.
Where are the dentists?
You can smile, dentists just don’t know it, it’s not that they’re bad people. Bad teeth and bad breath are a symptom, not the problem. Three things will keep your teeth white and straight if it’s not too late: nutrition, nose breathing, and cleaning your teeth without chemicals.
That’s it, there’s no magic, the Native Americans in America had great teeth without all our magic, you can copy them and that’s exactly what I did with free thought.
Teeth are destroyed primarily due to a poor diet lacking in minerals and vitamins. This is usually a diet with little meat and fish and lots of plants and processed foods that prevent the absorption of important minerals.
Another reason is mouth breathing at night and day. When we breathe through our mouth, it’s like putting an apple outside, it will rot. When we close our mouth, it’s just like wrapping an apple. That way the mouth doesn’t dry out either. When we breathe through our nose, the tongue presses the jaw and creates straight teeth. Try breathing through our nose with our mouth closed and you’ll see that the tongue presses the upper jaw just like a bridge does.
Chemical or natural substances?
A third and important reason why teeth are not kept white and healthy is dental hygiene. The secret is that there is no need for expensive chemicals, they only harm the bacteria and the texture of your intestines, some of the toothpaste and mouthwash reach your digestive tract, because some of it is swallowed. It’s just like eating poison, try swallowing your toothpaste and you will see that it is really unpleasant, of course don’t try, it was a joke. Read that toothpaste always says “not for eating”, but some is always swallowed.
How do you take care of your teeth?
It is important to floss after meals, use a toothpick between your teeth, and brush your teeth with warm water. It is very important to rinse your teeth with warm water. There is no need for chemicals, it is a bluff. The tribes and the Indians had white, straight teeth without toothpaste. It is recommended to use a rough towel to clean your teeth after brushing. When there is a problem or inflammation, rinse with salt water several times.
Toothpaste does not contribute anything to dental health, and is not needed. In order for teeth to be straight, it is important to eat hard food in childhood. Rinsing your mouth with warm water has the same effect as other substances. Take something beyond your teeth, as few unnatural substances as possible on you, near you and in you. Example: Toothpastes such as Sensodyne today contain a toxic substance: titanium dioxide . This is a small example of thousands of examples.
A study that examined the effect of using mouthwash on blood pressure.
Is it possible that most dentists are wrong? Absolutely, they are wrong.
sun
Sun exposure
At least half an hour a day. The big advantage is that with UVA radiation, the body releases nitrite oxide (the same substance that is released when you breathe from your nose to your lungs) and a byproduct is vitamin D, but the big advantage is the release of nitrite oxide. It is better to be in the sun during hours when your shadow is higher than you so as not to get burned.
Natural anti-sun cream
Vitamin D is produced by exposure to UVB rays to prevent sun damage and is important for building bones. It functions like a sunscreen, so the body produces it. Eskimos are not exposed to the sun and get all their vitamin D from animals. Animal fat contains vitamin D, especially animals that have been raised on pasture and eaten grass. The body stores vitamin D in fat by a type of cholesterol on our skin, so people who do not eat animal fat (suffering from many different diseases and symptoms) usually attribute their symptoms to a vitamin D deficiency, but this is a result and not the cause.
“It is known that plants wither without sunlight, and the same is true for humans.”
How to remove natural sun protection?
How do you remove the natural “anti-sun cream” that our body produces? It’s very easy, just shower with soap. Just as shampoo removes the natural oil from the hair, soap removes the oil with vitamin D that protects us from the sun’s rays. Don’t believe me? Avoid showering with soap and shampoo for a week and go out in the sun and you will see that you burn much less.
Here you will see an excellent lecture about the sun and our body.
The human way to identify something healthy by beauty
Basic instinct is beautiful.
It’s quite fascinating how young children can naturally understand certain standards of beauty without anyone explaining it to them. For example, they may recognize that white teeth are beautiful, while yellow and brown teeth are not. It seems that this ability to recognize beauty is ingrained in us from the very beginning.
Children can also distinguish between healthy and unhealthy appearance. They may associate a tall, upright posture with beauty and a slouched or sickly posture as less beautiful. Similarly, they may see beauty in a shapely body and less in a plump body. They can even recognize that smooth skin is beautiful, while skin damaged by cigarette smoke is not.
Innate preferences for beauty
These innate preferences for beauty can be traced back to our evolutionary roots. Research shows that beautiful features often signal fertility and good health, which are important for survival and the continuation of our genes. For example, a study by Perrett et al. (1999) found that people generally find symmetrical faces more attractive, perhaps because symmetry is an indicator of genetic fitness.
Our innate appreciation for beauty also helps us make choices about who we want to be, as it can indicate a suitable partner. When we observe someone walking or standing gracefully, it usually suggests good health and proper body function. The same goes for breathing: Breathing through the nose is often seen as more beautiful than breathing through the mouth, as it is a healthier way to breathe. Imagine someone breathing with their mouth open, do you recognize that this looks bad?
Have you seen a model walking, and it looks good? This upright posture is also the correct gait.
Does eating with your mouth closed while chewing look good? It is also healthier because you don’t swallow air with your food.
To harm the natural ability to recognize beauty
Just as we can damage the natural signal we were born with when to eat or, more accurately, when we are full, for example when we eat wheat, or the mechanism when to drink, when we drink coffee or alcohol, so too can we damage our natural ability to recognize beauty. Sometimes beauty is a social phenomenon, like the long-necked tribe in Thailand. They will think that a long neck is beautiful, because that is what is accepted in society.
So, whether you are sitting, standing, walking, running, breathing or thinking freely, nature encourages you to do it beautifully, look at yourself and do it beautifully. This attraction to beauty serves a purpose, but it can be harnessed to know how to do things right, because often what is beautiful is also right.
Bread with chocolate is more dangerous than rain
When I was in third grade, my parents left us with friends. The friends’ mother, whose name was Batsheva, gave me bread with chocolate for school. I never received bread with chocolate for school. On the way to school, I ate the bread with chocolate and was hungry all day at school.
It’s a common sight that mothers are afraid of their child getting wet in the rain and therefore chase him with a coat or sweater, not on us, and send the child with bread and chocolate to school.
The mother’s fear has a source, but not bread with chocolate, a really strange thought, even though I sound a bit delusional and I know it, but it’s worth showing how bad it is for the child.
Getting wet in the rain or feeling a little cold is great for a child, and even if it’s less than great, it creates an independent child. Next time, he’ll remember that he was cold and take a coat or umbrella, and the truth is, this exposure to the cold is even healthy for him. Bread with chocolate for school, on the other hand, will not only cause the child to have a sugar crash and make it much harder for him to concentrate, but it also contributes to the child’s love of unhealthy foods and increases the likelihood of diseases that the mother can’t imagine in her worst dreams, such as cancer, diabetes, metabolic disease, and even dental problems.
But everyone knows that this mother loves the child the most in the world, that’s why it’s strange to me, and I’m writing about it here.
Children and humans are not supposed to eat unleavened wheat bread with chocolate, not when they are children and really – not ever. They are supposed to eat a free diet – food adapted for humans.
Lower your raised eyebrow at what I wrote here, and continue reading. Bread with chocolate is an example, but this is true of everything that humans are not supposed to eat.
So the next time you see a mother giving her child bread with chocolate, shout to the child: “Don’t finish the bread with chocolate on the way to school!” And shout to the mother: “Be afraid of the bread, not the cold!”
Give us something perfect.
Many people tell me that the meat we eat today is not the same as the meat that was hunted millions of years ago. It’s true, it has a lot more fat and domesticated animals eat food that is not suitable for them, but it is much more suitable for us than, say, oatmeal with all sorts of ingredients.
There is a fear that saltwater fish contain metals and all kinds of unhealthy substances, but even in this case, saltwater fish are almost identical to the fish that our ancestors ate millions of years ago, which is nothing compared to the natural toxins found in plants.
The trick is to have ideas that are 80% correct because achieving 100% is very difficult in health. But to achieve 100% health you have to make decisions that are 80% correct. There are no 100% decisions in health. (Except banging your head against a wall which will 100% give you a headache).
We are drowning in information but yearn for insights into it, health is poker, there is usually no 100% or even 90%, decisions have to be made under conditions of uncertainty (sometimes the result is the opposite of the odds, like a smoker living to the age of 102) and that is exactly the problem, no one is decisive and says what needs to be done – these are things that are highly likely to be true, and therefore free thought comes to try to isolate the signal from the noise. Like everything you read, treat what you read here with limited responsibility . Through free thought, you can reach the following critical and important law: “Act as ancient humans acted in nature” – our body and mind have adapted and adapted to this way of life! Trying to defeat nature with technology, medicines, magicians, ointments, magic herbs, knowledge books and juices is usually destined for failure.
Can nature be defeated?
Whoever “designed” nature did not want to give humans the opportunity to transcend it.
Evolution has adapted us to how we were in nature and cannot adapt us to rapid changes. Evolution works on the distant past, not the present. Once you understand this, you understand everything. It is not rocket science but simple logic. Like animals, we work mainly to obtain food, to find shelter and to reproduce, as well as to obtain information about these three.
Evolution has designed millions of types of spectacular chemical processes and billions of billions of chemical processes (dependent on each other) every second that drive us and define us. It is not right for us to look for new chemical processes that will fix us (drugs), but to simply continue and not harm the millions of existing processes that we were born with (simply stay natural), this is correct from a probabilistic and logical point of view.
These are the things that will strengthen you physically: food that humans ate in the past, breathing through the nose, proper movement, learning (to activate the brain), and environment. Each idea is essentially an easy-to-implement solution and is based on a simple free thought: “to act as ancient humans acted in nature.”
It is difficult to understand exactly how the ancients practiced, but there are tribes that have survived and there are old books and films, and so you can learn about the right path.
A rabbit needs certain grasses and vegetables, otherwise it will get sick and die. These are the things it ate in nature. A cow needs green grass and when you give it food it is not built for (so that it gets fat – the breeder’s interest is more meat and not more health for you) like corn, soy and barley grains it gets fat and has to be kept alive by giving it antibiotics from time to time. In exactly the same way, we are also built for a certain food with a certain living environment. Ignoring this need is reflected in obesity, illness, and the need for doctors and medication on a regular basis for a large portion of the world’s population.
A headache is a headache.
A story that happened to me – my wife told me that she felt dizzy when she looked down and that she might have a brain hemorrhage or a stroke. I told her that it was a shame that I would lose her like this, but “it was nice to meet you and I’ll get along,” and I added, “Tel Aviv has a good selection.” It seemed very strange to me. I remembered hearing her doing a rope-jumping workout. I asked her, “Tell me, didn’t you jump rope for about half an hour?” She said yes. In free thought, I connected the fact that jumping makes you dizzy, that my wife and I are sensitive to sharp movements, and then I realized that the chance that on the day she did a rope-jumping workout, she had a brain hemorrhage and that they were unrelated to each other was zero. I told her, “I don’t think it’s a brain hemorrhage, it’s just from the jumping,” and that she would probably survive. She smiled, and indeed, the next day, the “hemorrhage” and the “dizziness” were gone. It’s important that you use free logic in everything.
A headache is a headache. It’s a symptom, not the problem. You’re doing something wrong if you have them, big or small.
I personally didn’t really suffer from headaches, but I encountered them in a lot of people and sometimes I suffered from a headache before I started eating freely .
For a person who eats right, is active, and sees sunlight, there is no reason for a headache at all.
If you have occasional headaches or migraines, it means you’re not eating freely.
Cow’s milk products, oatmeal, Diet Coke, and the like are not foods that fall under the definition of a free diet and there is a good chance that they contribute to headaches.
Your body has no safety margins, so every little thing causes a headache. Just eat freely and watch the headaches and migraines disappear.
One of the things I’ve noticed is that wireless headphones give me a little headache afterwards. So be careful of things that project directly into your head.
So how come no one is talking about this popular product that is dangerous? Hopefully by now you have understood that just because everyone is doing something, doesn’t mean it is safe or right, unfortunately many times it is the other way around.
Anything that radiates you put on, there’s a good chance it’s dangerous. Wireless headphones are right inside your head and radiate to your cell phone, no one has tested what it really does to the neurons in your head.
I bought headphones with an air cable at the end so that radiation won’t pass through.
And we’ll end with – yes, everyone is wrong, it’s possible otherwise!
Hello, hello, gardens
One of my biggest mistakes was thinking that genes determine whether people are good at math, have heart attacks, or are just plain successful. The more I think about it, the more I read and come across information, the more I realize how equal we are. Genes do help fight toxins, like wheat or smoking, but if you don’t poison yourself, we don’t really need the help of genes, and that’s the free-thinking understanding of this mystery. Genes will help you have a certain character that will help you love a certain activity, such as an actor, an athlete, a carpenter, a physicist. But the ability itself depends on how many hours you have devoted to your innate ability, practiced it, and what you have done in your life, namely the environment.
We blame the genes, because our brain is constantly striving to organize reality and give an explanation that will support our actions, the main thing is that we are not to blame. Therefore, it is easy for us to blame our genes for being fat, or sick, or just excessively chubby, and so, when there are genes to blame – the problem is solved, it is the genes! Fight the bias of our brain to organize everything and explain everything, this is free thought at its best. There is something wrong with obesity, it is not an opinion, it is a reality that is easy to see and of course the problem is not aesthetic but accompanied by many other problems, such as diabetes and blood vessel problems. Everyone is supposed to be “thin”, if they eat a “free diet”.
Most people are born with great genes, so if there are problems, blame your environment and diet before blaming your parents for bad genes.
The trend in health in the world is clear, and it is visible on the streets. Could it be that so many people have crappy genes and are gaining weight? Becoming hunched over? Developing chronic diseases? Or maybe there is something else that makes some people fit, upright, and healthy even in old age. If we assume that we are born equal, and indeed we were born equal (more or less), then by exercising free thought we realize that there is something other than a problem with genes here. There is something here that is related to and remains in a very basic activity – nutrition and physical activity! Further proof of this is those people who change their diet and their physical activity and become healthy and fit.
It seems that the general health of the entire world is on a downward trend, according to this article , according to the global obesity trend and according to the World Health Organization . Medicine is so advanced, so it can be assumed that the main reason is the deterioration of the quality of food and the type of food we eat. An article about childhood diabetes that shows an increase over the years. I assume that the food we eat is much more important than our environment, after all, bad substances in the environment have less of an impact than bad substances in our food that enter our bodies. We do live longer on Earth, but in less good health! More evidence of the incompatibility of modern life with the life that we are evolutionarily built to live – a study on American teenagers shows that happiness is on a clear downward trend over the years. For good health, you need to be ready for change, understand that there are things that must be done and things that must not be done! Genes and luck are not harmful, but they are not enough alone to ensure good health.
The law of “genes are nothing compared to the environment” says that if the question is: Is a certain problem genetic or environmental? Most likely, behavior is responsible for the problems, such as our air, food, movement. From this it can be understood that most diseases stem from our lifestyle (environment, eating, movement) and not from bad luck or bad genes that have fallen upon us. The way the health system treats people needs to change fundamentally and start with lifestyle and not with drugs. With prevention and not with band-aids.
We need to use mental flexibility and understand that sometimes our opinions on a particular subject must be changed, and with this change, a change in our way of life is also required. The biggest difficulty is changing ourselves and realizing that until now we have simply been wrong. We see this in the excuses that accompany people’s diets, “Can’t stop eating bread or fried food.”
Someone take responsibility.
I’m just a reasonable person who takes responsibility for the right diet for people. The state should manage the health of the public who have difficulty understanding the factors operating in the market and making changes. Apparently there is no choice but to pay people to maintain a healthy life, because in the long run it will save the state money – research shows that payment works . The source of the difficulty is the excess advertising and misinformation that commercial companies create for the benefit of their economic interests, which are profits and not public health.
The idea that the same action produces different results in different people makes it difficult to decide what is the right thing to do and what causes what. For example, two people: one man who did not smoke and died at age 40, and a woman who smoked but died at age 87. The solution is to test 100 smokers and 100 nonsmokers and always remember the law “to act as ancient humans acted in nature.” Excellent article on the history of hunting and eating plants.
A small clue to the link between carbohydrates and cancer
The potential benefit of ketones in the context of cancer and tumor growth is based on the differences in energy metabolism between cancer cells and healthy cells.
Cancer cells rely primarily on glucose for energy through a process called glycolysis, even when oxygen is available. This phenomenon is known as the Warburg effect. The high demand for glucose by cancer cells allows them to multiply rapidly. In contrast, healthy cells can use different energy sources, such as glucose, fatty acids, and ketone bodies. A conversation with an oncology professor on the subject.
A free-range diet, high in protein and fat and low in carbohydrates, causes the body to enter a state of ketosis. In ketosis, the body produces ketone bodies as an alternative energy source when glucose is scarce. The logic behind using ketones to potentially help glucose-dependent tumors is based on the idea of “starving” cancer cells of their primary energy source, glucose, while providing healthy cells with an alternative fuel source, ketone bodies.
Some studies have shown that low-carb diets may have anti-tumor effects, perhaps because of:
- Reduced availability of glucose – By lowering glucose levels, a ketogenic diet may help slow tumor growth by depriving cancer cells of their preferred energy source.
- Changes in growth signaling pathways – Ketogenic diets have been shown to affect various cellular signaling pathways associated with cancer development and progression, such as insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) signaling.
- Increased oxidative stress in cancer cells – Ketogenic diets may increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells, leading to oxidative stress and potential cell death.
However, the effectiveness of ketones and ketogenic diets as a cancer treatment remains a subject of ongoing research, and not all types of cancer cells may respond similarly to this approach. It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional, such as an oncologist, before considering dietary changes or cancer treatments.
Popeye was wrong, spinach is not suited to us.
What we eat is not necessarily absorbed into the blood. What matters is what is absorbed.
We were taught that spinach is healthy because it has a lot of iron, but they forgot to inform us that its absorption is zero because of the type of iron and the toxins that prevent its absorption.
All plants have the exact same problem: the vitamins and minerals are not absorbed into the blood in the desired amount. The exceptions from plants are ripe fruits and fermented grains.
Here you will see a recommendation from the Ministry of Health about kale without scientific basis and the opposite of what science shows. At no point in human history have humans eaten kale, which is also difficult to digest because of the fiber.
The secret is that in the end you enjoy it equally.
The big “secret” in nutrition is that in the end we enjoy most types of food equally, it only takes a few days to get used to it. Unnatural, sugary, and spicy food makes us not enjoy natural food, which takes a few days to get used to. It’s worth investing a few days and getting used to natural food because in the end we enjoy it just as much. Another thing is “food variety” – we are not built to eat many types of food at the same time for a simple reason – in ancient times only one type of food was available at a given time – if we came across a fig tree, there was no honey and bread with avocado and cheese, there was only a fig. In addition, it is important to give the intestines time to rest (the intestines are “injured” by eating), so it is wise to eat within an 8-12 hour window a day.
By avoiding oil, sugar, and unleavened bread, you feel an immediate change. Once you succeed in making the initial change, such as avoiding oil, and see the initial improvement, it is easier to continue. It may be hard to believe, but the simple things are the source of the problem and the solution.
Acne, heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome, and everything in between
These three phenomena are a symptom and not the cause. Not in all cases, but in most. After you read Free Thought, you already understand that it pays to live a statistical life and bet on something that is in a high percentage correct, even if not always.
The cause of these three phenomena is, of course, an inappropriate diet. Irritable bowel syndrome is basically your intestine “getting irritated” when you pass through it food that is not suited to it, such as bread (not leavened), pasta, vegetables, vegetable oils, rice, roots, leaves, crackers, cow’s milk, or all sorts of recently invented foods.
Pimples, itching, rashes, and sores in all sorts of places on the body usually have nothing to do with hormones or puberty, but only with nutrition. I have to write this again, these are phenomena that are related only to the food you eat, and yes, everyone is wrong. These are signs of poisoning, and the way to prevent it is to solve the problem, not drugs – which sometimes silence the symptom. The poisoning stops when you eat a free diet like the one shown here.
Heartburn is often caused by vegetable oil and lectins that irritate stomach acids.
Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins found in various plant foods, such as legumes, grains, and some fruits and vegetables. They play a role in the defense mechanism of plants against pests and predators. Several studies and anecdotal evidence have suggested a possible link between lectins and heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Heartburn is a symptom that occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and a burning sensation. There are several possible mechanisms by which plant toxins (lectins) may contribute to heartburn:
- Gut barrier dysfunction – Lectins have been shown to disrupt gut barrier function, which can lead to increased intestinal permeability (also known as “leaky gut”). This can cause an inflammatory response and worsen reflux symptoms, including heartburn.
- Inflammation – Some studies suggest that lectins may promote inflammation in the body, which can worsen heartburn symptoms. Chronic inflammation may be involved in heartburn.
- Digestive Impairment – Lectins can bind to digestive enzymes and impair their function, leading to incomplete digestion of food. This can cause food to ferment in the stomach, creating gas and increasing intra-abdominal pressure, which can promote reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus and cause heartburn.
If you ask why these symptoms only develop over the years and are not seen in children who eat a lot of plant toxins, it is because it takes years for lectins to injure the intestine and enter the bloodstream. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid eating lectins that are plant toxins.
Exposure to cold and cold shower
It is important to occasionally shower in cold water and generally swim in cold water and be exposed to the cold. The feeling afterwards is great, and yes, science supports it. These are three things that intersect: feeling, evolution that has adapted us to exposure to cold, and science. Therefore, we can say with free thought that it is very likely that controlled exposure to cold is very good for us.
There is a specific type of fat in the human body called brown adipose tissue (BAT) that helps regulate body temperature in response to cold environments. Unlike white adipose tissue, which stores energy, BAT produces heat through a process called thermogenesis.
When activated by cold temperatures or other stimuli, BAT releases stored energy in the form of heat, which helps raise the body’s core temperature and keep it warm. This can be especially beneficial in cold environments where the body is at risk of hypothermia.
Therefore, brown adipose tissue is the type of fat that helps humans cope with the cold.
water
According to evolution, we should drink water. Not fruit juices, smoothies and all that. Drink when you are thirsty, all the recommendations for a certain amount are only true for those who confuse the body with alcohol and caffeine, otherwise the body signals us perfectly when it is thirsty. As long as you are without medications or substances unsuitable for humans that confuse the body, you should drink when you are thirsty.
Mental junk food for the soul?
Mental junk food refers to content or activities that provide immediate gratification but no long-term value or benefit. In the context of social media platforms, such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or Twitter, mental junk food can include mindlessly scrolling through endless feeds, watching videos, or engaging in shallow interactions that do not contribute to personal growth or meaningful connections.
The characteristics of mental junk food in the context of social networks:
- Short attention span – These platforms are designed to capture and hold users’ attention for as long as possible. Content is often presented in short, easily digestible formats, such as short videos, images, or short text posts. This can lead to a shortened attention span and difficulty focusing on deeper or more complex tasks.
- Instant gratification – Social networks are built around features that provide users with immediate feedback and rewards, such as likes, comments, and shares. Instant gratification can be addictive and encourage users to seek more of it, leading to an overemphasis on social validation and approval.
- FOMO – Fear of Missing Out, social media can create a sense of urgency and a constant need to keep up with the latest news, trends, and gossip. This can lead to overuse and an inability to disconnect from the platforms.
- Comparison and envy – Seeing shortened, filtered versions of others’ lives can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. This is especially problematic when people start comparing themselves to others and feel pressured to maintain a perfect online image.
- Information overload – With so much content available, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information. Consuming too much low-quality content can lead to mental fatigue and a reduced ability to focus on more important tasks or information.
To maintain balance, it’s essential to limit your intake of mental junk food and engage in activities that promote personal growth, such as taking a walk in nature, reading books, learning new skills, having meaningful conversations, and cultivating real-life relationships. Also, setting boundaries around social media use, such as set time limits or specific times of day for checking these platforms, can help reduce the negative impact on mental well-being.
Indeed, with the increase in the consumption of mental junk food, we see a decline in intellect in the US and, I think, in the rest of the world as well.
Materials that humans have not been exposed to
There is a lot of new material coming into our
The unnatural substances we are exposed to: flavors and fragrances, toothpastes, cleaning products, facial creams, perfumes, fabric softeners, hair products, makeup of all kinds, pesticides, fertilizers, and the like. It’s hard to predict how these substances affect our health, but according to the “law of processes,” they are most likely harmful to us in ways we haven’t thought of. A small example: toothpastes contain substances that can cause severe stomach pain – the effect will be different for each person.
Cleaning agents and other artificial substances that most of you use (dishwasher tablets, bleach and floor cleaners, pesticides, etc.) find their way into the food you eat. You pay for consuming these substances with your health.
Natural sleep
Our sleep can improve dramatically. It is difficult to understand how the ancients slept, but according to ancient paintings, it seems that they slept lying on their backs and breathing only through their noses. When lying on their backs, the body and muscles are in a relaxed state and it is easiest to breathe through their noses. Recommended reading: George Catlin – The Breath of Life. He documented Native Americans and painted them in 1860, from which you can learn how they breathed in nature and how they slept without modernization. Going to bed early and waking up early is a matter of habit. The ancients slept alternately without a fixed formula, so don’t be alarmed if you wake up several times during the night, it is completely natural. The ancients slept about seven hours at night and alternately, meaning there may be a few hours of wakefulness and then back to sleep. I sleep on a hard mattress and on my back, like the ancients, I noticed that this way I sleep best and wake up most energized. Breathing only through my nose, otherwise it causes many problems, including sleep apnea and dental problems. If you can’t breathe through your nose while you sleep, put duct tape over your mouth while you sleep. After a few weeks, you’ll be breathing only through your nose.
A study that showed that coffee consumption shortens sleep , science shows that caffeine is a stimulant and so is logic, so it can be assumed with free thought that if you want to sleep better, stop drinking coffee. Caffeine is a lectin from the coffee tree, a type of toxin for pests, so it damages the nervous system of insects and small pests.
Make a difference – minimalism
Hoarding and materialism in general – this is the disease of the century and is the result of buying unnecessary items – children’s rooms are “filled” with toys that were used once, there is an excess of clothing, cosmetics, food, etc. It is recommended to get rid of items and not hoard anything.
If we know how to be healthy, why don’t we do it?
We are interesting creatures who just want to do what we did yesterday. Most of the time we need to do the exact opposite of what we are used to, eat few carbohydrates and lots of protein and animal fat. Act the opposite of what we thought, walking is better than running, thinking freely and not fixedly.
The preference for processed foods is often a result of the initial taste, which can be more appealing than natural foods due to added sugars, salt, and fat. People may assume that this taste will remain the same, although research shows that our taste buds can adapt to new flavors within a few days.
Additionally, many people simply don’t know how to live healthily because they grew up with processed foods as the norm. Each generation moves away from the natural way of eating, making it harder to transition back to a healthier lifestyle.
The medical industry also plays a role in discouraging preventive health measures, as most doctors are trained to focus on treating diseases with drugs and surgery rather than preventing them in the first place. This can create a culture where people expect to receive drugs or surgery for their health problems, rather than adopting a healthier lifestyle.
Furthermore, processed foods are often the most profitable for companies to produce and market because they have a longer shelf life and require less investment in farming. This can make it harder for people to afford natural, unprocessed foods.
In summary, a variety of factors contribute to the challenge of making healthy changes, including initial taste preferences, lack of knowledge about healthy lifestyles, cultural norms, and profit-driven food production. However, with education, persistence, and support, anyone can learn to appreciate the taste and benefits of natural, unprocessed foods and adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Diabetes is a disease of dietitians and doctors
A friend told me that she was taking pills to lower her blood sugar. I asked her if her doctors had suggested that she change her diet. She replied that she had been referred to a dietitian who told her that she didn’t need to change anything in her diet. I asked my friend if her doctors had recommended any dietary changes. She told me that she had been referred to a dietitian who advised her not to change her diet. This surprised me because type 2 diabetes, unlike type 1 diabetes, is often associated with a poor diet and can be managed by a diet that reduces the intake of harmful substances, such as wheat products.
The increasing prevalence of type 1 diabetes worldwide suggests that it may be influenced by factors such as diet and environmental exposure, rather than being purely genetic. Although it cannot be cured due to the destruction of pancreatic cells, it is worth considering that an inadequate diet may also contribute to its development. Interestingly, type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, and the Western diet is known to promote various autoimmune diseases by exposing people to unhealthy foods.
Back to the story, my friend eats wheat products for both breakfast and dinner. I was shocked to hear this. Two aspects seemed illogical: First, the doctor referred her to a dietitian when dietary guidelines are readily available; second, the dietitian does not provide her with a solution to manage her condition. Prescribing medication only addresses the symptoms, not the underlying problem. Neither the doctor nor the dietitian failed to provide the necessary guidance, which could have negative consequences for my friend.
My friend refuses to listen to my advice and relies solely on the recommendations of her doctors. With a diet rich in animal fats and proteins and without carbohydrates, the symptoms of type 2 diabetes can completely disappear within a few weeks. It is important to note that type 2 diabetes is never cured because it is a product of poisoning. The only way is to stop poisoning the body with an inappropriate diet. While everyone makes mistakes, it is unfortunate that some healthcare professionals condemn people to a life of suffering. For example, my friend’s son suffers from the same condition and faces a similar fate due to inadequate guidance.
And yes, everyone is wrong, diabetes and probably juvenile diabetes, is not a genetic disease but a disease that results from a diet that is not adapted to humans. The genetic part is how tolerant the person is to the ongoing poisoning of a diet that is not adapted to them. Just as the weight regulation mechanism is damaged with ongoing poisoning, so is our sugar regulation mechanism. Both are reversible after a few months of eating food that is compatible with humans.
I’m not a doctor or a dietitian, but I think they have a big part in the spread of the disease, and to their credit, I hope they simply don’t know, but ignorance does not exempt from responsibility.
Argue like dancers, not like donkeys.
ReThink – As Israelis, we tend to argue a good deal of the time. Give yourself a chance to change your mind about everything. Try to conduct an argument like a dance and not like a war. You should approach the argument with humility and show the other side that there are issues on which you agree. You should concentrate on a few single issues and of course not give the feeling that you want to control the other or convince them. The only one who will succeed in convincing the other side is themselves. Ask the other side how they came to this conclusion or way of life. Try to be convinced from time to time – because if you never change your mind – you have a problem. Don’t be a logic bully and conduct a scientific, not emotional, debate.
Suppressing is good.
Ignoring and forgetting makes much more sense than digging into wounds. In ancient times, they would repress traumas and unpleasant events and not dig into them like in modern psychology. They wouldn’t make a crazy drama out of every bad thing that happened to people. It’s more a matter of what’s socially acceptable and not really what should be done. It seems logical that it’s better to repress and not dig into the past, but only learn from it. We have a natural mechanism to forget the past and move on. In childbirth, it works well.
balding
Why don’t football players go bald?
About 50% of men over the age of 50 suffer from baldness, while about 50% of women over the age of 65 suffer from female pattern baldness. Below I will mention ways to reduce the likelihood of hair loss. It is interesting to note that professional basketball and soccer players, and in general athletes from athletic professions, as well as some tribes such as the Maasai and South American tribes, seem to be less likely to experience baldness than the general population their age when comparing the same ages of course. Therefore, we need to use free thinking and try to understand the reason for this and apply it to ourselves. Baldness indicates a health problem and is perceived as something unattractive. It is part of our evolution to want to choose a healthy partner so that we can pass our genes on.
One possible explanation for the phenomenon of baldness is that hair follicles require adequate blood flow to stay healthy. During strenuous exercise, blood flow to the face increases, which may provide the hair follicles with the nutrients and oxygen they need. Therefore, it is recommended that those experiencing hair loss engage in vigorous exercise for at least an hour a day, four times a week, until their face turns red, which means that the scalp also receives an increased dose of blood.
To pump blood to the head
With free thought, we understand that it is possible to inject blood into the hair through a daily head massage, which will inject blood into the hair follicles just like physical exercise. There is genetics in baldness, that’s clear, but it is likely that, just as with gluten, there is genetics that help avoid the toxin, those who don’t eat gluten don’t need these genetics. In baldness, in the same way, genetics help when there is no blood flow and proper nutrition, when there is – there is no need for genetics. Therefore, the answer to the question “So how is Zidane bald?” is that he probably has genetics that don’t cope well with a lack of nutrition and blood to the hair of the head.
In some cases, the cause of hair loss may be related to diet rather than blood flow. Women, in particular, may experience hair loss due to nutritional deficiencies. Therefore, it is essential to follow a diet that includes fish, meat, and fruit, which provide essential nutrients that may be lacking in a vegetarian diet. It is also recommended to avoid sugary foods, especially breads and processed foods, which prevent the absorption of minerals that can damage hair. The body has a mechanism for routing minerals from less important places to more important ones, such as the brain and muscles, so when we have a mineral deficiency, the first places to “grab” are the teeth, hair, and bones – places that are not critical for survival in the short term.
I’ve seen studies and health insurance companies say that hormones cause baldness. It’s possible, but it’s probably the symptom, because poor nutrition affects hormones. And that’s exactly the kind of free thinking that goes up a level, from the symptom level to the problem level.
A nice way to show that there is a good chance that blood flow and proper nutrition can stop baldness is to see that medications that cause nutrient deficiencies or reduce blood circulation cause baldness as a side effect, and indeed this is the case; some medications used to treat high blood pressure, such as beta-blockers, can lead to hair thinning or hair loss as a side effect. The exact reasons for this can vary depending on the specific medication, but some possible mechanisms include:
- Nutrient Deficiencies – Certain diuretics can cause the body to lose essential minerals and vitamins, such as zinc, potassium, and biotin, which are important for maintaining healthy hair. Deficiencies in these nutrients can contribute to hair loss.
- Reduced blood flow to hair follicles – Some blood pressure medications, especially beta-blockers, can reduce blood flow to certain areas of the body, including the scalp. This reduced blood flow can weaken hair follicles, making them more susceptible to damage and hair loss.
Athletes are less likely to go bald
Let’s recap the free thought. We’ve observed that athletes are less likely to go bald than their peers. They get more blood to the head than normal people, so we assume that’s the issue. We know that blood-clotting drugs and diet can cause hair loss, so that adds another possibility. We also know that people’s problems are often not genetic and more the result of a person’s activity and environment. There’s also a feeling that people who are inactive are more prone to baldness. The explanation that some go bald and some don’t also lies in genetics, but the explanation is that it’s genetics that help when you don’t eat right and there’s no blood flow from physical activity, not genetics that help when you do everything right.
Therefore, it is worth betting that the three components are important for healthy hair: a free diet, sports that make your face red at the end, and a daily scalp massage. All three together will probably reduce or prevent baldness. This of course seemed reasonable when I used free thought with the information and science above. There is a small chance that this is not true, but it has worked for me all these years and I hope it will work for you.
Who will benefit and who will lose from our health?
As a small but unfortunately growing portion of the world moves more and more towards conscious and sustainable living, it is becoming clear that a collective shift towards optimal health can yield benefits for different sectors of society, and conversely, losses for others. Understanding these benefits and losses can paint a clear picture of how our well-being impacts diverse aspects of society and the economy.
First, the most obvious beneficiaries of our health are us, the individuals. Taking the example of an Israeli citizen, maintaining excellent health can lead to a more active and fulfilling lifestyle, reduced medical expenses, and a greater ability to contribute positively to society.
Another notable beneficiary is the organic farming sector. As more people adopt healthier lifestyles, the demand for chemical-free organic produce is increasing. This trend provides a significant economic boost to organic farmers who are dedicated to producing food in harmony with nature. It also fosters healthier ecosystems and enhances our planet’s biodiversity.
The trend towards healthier living is also having a positive impact on livestock farmers who are opting for natural and organic methods. This approach means that animals can be raised in a natural environment, thus promoting better animal welfare. Similarly, the planet benefits too, as healthier lifestyles often coincide with more sustainable practices aimed at preserving our planet.
Moreover, companies that produce health-focused products or services can flourish, especially if encouraged by the government through incentives and subsidies. They can innovate, grow, and contribute to a healthier society, thus creating a positive feedback loop.
On the other hand, the shift towards improved health can negatively impact sectors that do not align with this paradigm. For example, pharmaceutical companies may experience a decline in demand for certain drugs if people manage to maintain their health through preventive measures and lifestyle changes.
Additionally, companies that produce processed foods, such as Strauss, Tnuva, and Osam, may face challenges due to reduced consumption of their products. People may choose fresh and organic foods over processed items, which will affect the businesses of these companies.
Industries that rely on unconventional methods of raising animals, such as dairy farms, chicken coops, fish ponds and meat plants, could also experience a decline. Similarly, large grocery chains like Shufersal could see a drop in sales as customers may prefer local and organic produce over mass-produced items.
Vegetable, leafy, root and seed farmers could also feel the impact if people start reducing their consumption of these products in favor of a higher protein diet. Furthermore, companies that produce meat substitutes like Tivol and Beyond Meat could face reduced demand if people choose natural sources of protein.
Healthcare professionals, insurance companies, and medical device companies could also be affected, as healthier populations would theoretically require medical intervention less frequently. Finally, dietary supplement companies could see less demand for their products as people obtain needed nutrients directly from their diets.
7 natural remedies that work for me
Cheap, available and no prescription required
These 7 natural remedies are incredibly life-enhancing, I believe you won’t be disappointed. They are also cheap, available, and don’t require a prescription.
I admit that these are the only medications I use. That’s it, no other chemicals on me or in me.
When you try something on yourself and it works, there’s no need for studies or anything like that. Studies will only reinforce what you’ve seen on your own. Everything written here I’ve tried on myself and it works like crazy, it obviously doesn’t mean anything beyond that, so don’t see it as medical advice.
Natural medicine is different from food because it is consumed specifically to treat health problems rather than as a general food. Research evidence supports this distinction.
garlic
How to use?
When I use the “Hanz” law from the laws for great profit, I have seen that garlic solves stomach problems and sore throats for me in an amazing way. The method of use is very simple, crush a clove of garlic, the crushing releases allicin. Add the crushed clove to the meal. That’s it. Now you should see results, as long as you eat food adapted for humans. Test it for yourself.
It is recommended to heat the garlic so that it will be softer, easier to digest, and that way you won’t smell it.
I don’t recommend you try it, but when I had pain in my appendix, I ate garlic and the pain went away after two days.
Garlic has been used as a natural remedy for various ailments, including stomach aches, colds, and flu in ancient times.
Garlic has antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties that can be helpful in treating these conditions. A popular remedy for sore throats involves mixing honey, crushed garlic, and hot chilies, eaten every few hours. This can provide relief from symptoms and clear pus from the throat within a day.
The science is really small, don’t be alarmed.
Garlic affects gut bacteria, especially the bad ones, and can therefore make a huge difference when combined with a good diet. Garlic is a kind of medicine. The composition of gut bacteria is a direct result of the food we eat, and they have a huge impact on our lives.
Garlic, especially its active compound allicin, has shown antimicrobial properties against a variety of bacteria in laboratory studies. Why is this interesting in “Freedom to Think”? Because many places in nature behave the same way, and sometimes solutions can be taken from one place and applied elsewhere. Also, Penicillium fungi, which are usually found in soil and decaying matter, produce penicillin as a defense mechanism against bacterial growth on them. That is, humans use the protective properties of plants for healing, and this is not a spiritual theory, this is exactly what the antibiotic that saved hundreds of millions came from a fungus.
Some bacteria that have been found to be sensitive to garlic include:
- Escherichia coli – E. coli;
- Staphylococcus aureus;
- Salmonella;
- Klebsiella pneumoniae;
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa;
- Helicobacter pylori.
Minors in no way help us.
The toxins in garlic that protect it from pests, such as Allicin, ASA I, ASA II, and Ajoene, have a variety of potential health benefits. They exhibit antimicrobial properties, which means they can help fight harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This is part of the reason why garlic is often used as a home remedy for minor ailments. Garlic lectins also have immunomodulatory properties, which can improve the immune system’s ability to fight off infections and disease. Some studies also suggest that these garlic lectins may have anti-cancer properties. They can inhibit the growth of cancer cells and promote apoptosis, which is programmed cell death. However, these effects have been observed primarily in laboratory and animal studies, and more research is needed to understand how they might apply to humans. What’s nice to see is that allicin is released when the allin is crushed, meaning when an animal or bacteria chews the root the poison is released, it’s a nice demonstration that lectins are indeed toxins designed to prevent pests from harming the plant. In this case of course it was built on small animals and not on humans, in garlic it helps us sometimes but in wheat the wga, a cruel lectin in wheat, kills us slowly over years.
Lectins in wheat and plants are poisoning us
On the other hand, while garlic lectins or toxins can be beneficial, lectins from other plants can sometimes be harmful. Some plant lectins can interact negatively with the human body. For example, raw legumes and whole grains contain lectins that can cause digestive distress if not prepared properly. A lectin in red kidney beans, called phytohaemagglutinin, can cause symptoms of food poisoning if the beans are not cooked properly. Other lectins that can be harmful include those found in nightshades such as tomatoes and potatoes, which can aggravate inflammatory conditions in sensitive people. It is important to remember that the preparation method can significantly affect the lectin content of these foods, and cooking often reduces or eliminates the potentially harmful effects.
honey
I have noticed that honey on wounds heals them faster than iodine and that it also prevents coughs. I don’t need a study to show that honey has natural healing properties. Still, a study by Al-Waili et has shown that honey is effective in treating wounds and reducing cough symptoms.
lemon
Although the sour taste of lemon can be an indication of its strong effects, it is not recommended to consume it regularly in large quantities. According to a study by Penniston et al, excessive consumption of lemon juice may contribute to the development of kidney stones. I have noticed that lemon is excellent for all kinds of food poisoning and stomach issues, as well as sore throats. I only drink lemon when I have a stomach problem.
Lemon juice has been found to be effective in treating digestive problems. The same study showed that the bioactive compounds in lemon juice can help improve digestion and relieve stomach problems. However, it should be consumed in moderation to avoid possible side effects.
Cold and hot water
Cold water is great for showering. A shower in freezing water is as stimulating as 2 cups of coffee with Red Bull.
Cold or frozen water is great for sore muscles and various body aches. Athletes take ice baths after workouts and for a very good reason.
If I have dizziness, because I’m sensitive to spinning and looking at my cell phone while driving, a cold shower takes it away.
In our evolution, we used “showers” with cold water, not hot water like today. I personally feel a thousand times better after a cold shower than a hot shower. Note the “after” of the shower.
Hot or boiling water kills bacteria just like any other chemical, only they are not as dangerous to us as the chemicals. I rinse and brush my teeth with hot water and it works just like toothpaste.
salt
Salt is great for mouth sores and gargling for a sore throat. I only use salt as medicine and try not to consume it on a regular basis. Salt can also be used to preserve food and to acidify.
olive oil
Olive oil is excellent for treating dry lips or anywhere on the body including the scalp, works much better than any other perfumed ointment. My son had dry scalp with dandruff and it was resolved with an hour of olive oil on his head.
It is recommended to consume olive oil only as a medicine and not as a salad topping. When you drink, say, 100 grams of olive oil, it is like eating half a kilo of olives. This does not make sense, in general it is better to avoid such concentrates, our bodies have not been exposed to concentrates in hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, only in the last few thousand years.
Intestinal bacteria
A major impact on health
Studies show that gut bacteria have a major impact on our physical and mental health. Many studies show that gut bacteria are simply affected by what we eat or don’t eat.
Free thought for huge profit
Gut bacteria are just a symptom, they are a mediator, and probably one of them is the food we eat. Just as high blood sugar is a symptom and not the problem, the problem is the food that is not adapted to us. In exactly the same way, gut bacteria are a product of the food that is not adapted to humans that we eat. Many studies show that fecal transplantation helps many people, but after a certain time if the lifestyle does not change, the old problems return. This shows that our gut bacteria are directly affected by the food we eat.
That is, it seems to me, when I apply logic, that it is not the gut bacteria that cause diseases, but the food we eat, prioritizing certain gut bacteria that are probably one of the causes of the problems.
antibiotics
Taking antibiotics harms us over many years and causes effects that come late. Medicine does not link them to it, especially to problems with intestinal bacteria. Stay away from drugs that do not save lives and from doctors. On the other hand, trauma medicine (injuries, recovery, etc.), cardiology, oncology, and surgical operations are beneficial and improve the quality of life.
Garlic as a replacement for antibiotics for stomach problems?
Garlic contains a variety of compounds that are believed to contribute to its health benefits.
Prebiotic effect Garlic contains a type of fiber known as inulin, as well as fructooligosaccharides. These compounds are not digested in the upper digestive tract, but when they reach the large intestine, they are fermented by gut bacteria. This fermentation process leads to the production of short-chain fatty acids that provide nutrition to the cells lining the large intestine and help maintain a healthy intestinal barrier. In this way, the prebiotics in garlic can promote the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Antimicrobial activity – Garlic contains sulfur compounds such as allicin, which is formed when garlic is chopped or crushed. Allicin and other related compounds have been found to exhibit antimicrobial properties against a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. While these compounds may act against harmful bacteria in the gut, more research is needed to understand the specific effects on the gut microbiota. It should also be noted that these compounds are relatively unstable and can be inactivated by conditions in the gut, so the extent of their antimicrobial activity within the body is not entirely clear.
Immune response – Several studies show that compounds in garlic can affect the immune system, which in turn can affect the composition of the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome and the immune system have a complex two-way relationship, with each influencing the other. Certain compounds in garlic have been found to have anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating effects that may affect the gut microbiome.
Moreover, the antimicrobial properties of garlic may have an effect on certain types of bacteria in the intestines.
How is every person with a different character and why?
The Equalizer of Human Nature
Think of people’s traits like a sound equalizer. Everyone is born with a unique combination of traits that make up who they are. Each trait has a value, and the balance of these values creates our personality.
Imagine being born with a score of 1 to 10 on each of the following: Inner Happiness 7, Enthusiasm 9, Curiosity 3, Inner Peace 5, Autism 3, Sociability 4, Loss of Control in Extreme Situations 2. These are just numbers to illustrate how nature probably works. Autism probably breaks down into dozens more such numbers, some good and some not so good. In every environment, other numbers provide survival. When my wife read this, she said that there is no punch, but there is a punch, and like everything in free thought, we want to profit from it. The punch is that labeling someone as a 1 or 0 is problematic, and there really aren’t just bad traits like autism.
Autism is not a single trait.
Autism can also be seen as an equalizer trait, representing variation in the balance of cognitive, social, and emotional characteristics. It is important to note that autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning that there is a wide range of severity and symptoms experienced by individuals with ASD. However, the equalizer analogy suggests that everyone has some degree of autism-related traits, albeit to varying degrees.
Similarly, other traits such as aggression or hot-temperedness can be viewed through the lens of the equalizer analogy. Each person has a certain level of these traits that can be helpful or harmful depending on their intensity and context. For example, moderate levels of aggression may be useful in competitive environments, but can lead to conflicts between people with excessive salience.
This is how nature adapts humans to the environment.
When someone is born with too great an aggressive instinct, they can become a murderer, if someone is born with too great a sexual instinct, they can become a rapist.
Nature’s way of adapting humans to the changing environment is precisely through this idea of the equalizer. It is impossible to know exactly how to adjust it to suit the environment, so everyone is born with different numbers.
The analogy to gluten sensitivity is another way to illustrate this concept. Many people can consume gluten without noticeable adverse effects, while others experience varying levels of sensitivity, and a small percentage suffer from severe symptoms due to conditions like celiac disease.

Are glasses genetic or environmental?
Just like the other things we’ve seen, genes help when we work against what we’ve been adapted to. We’re not built to look at things up close all the time. We’ve hunted, hiked, built, and fought, and all of these things humans have seen from a distance. Being in front of a screen for 8 hours a day is something new to the eye, so investing in glasses and contact lens companies is smart.
Glasses are annoying as hell.
I started wearing glasses for long-term vision at age 42. At age 43 I had laser surgery to remove my glasses, which was an amazing success. Not only in terms of appearance, but also the effect on my field of vision, maybe because I started wearing glasses at age 42. But I had to use free thought to solve and understand it.
I don’t want glasses.
It is worth doing as much as possible what they used to do, look a lot at distant, green nature and less at screens. A free diet is really important for healthy vision, and therefore there are many vision diseases that result from a lack of vitamins and minerals, and vice versa, a free illustration concludes that vitamins and minerals are no less important for good vision than natural vision, which is looking at nature.
Do reading glasses prevent nearsightedness?
Here is the question, which is one of the tools of free thought , that helps us aim for free thinking.
When you wear glasses for nearsightedness, the lenses in the glasses bend light to focus on the retina, even though the eye isn’t focusing properly. This means that the converging and ciliary muscles don’t have to contract as much to focus on near objects. This can help reduce eye strain and fatigue.
Wearing glasses can help slow the progression of myopia in children. A study published in the journal Ophthalmology found that children who wore glasses were less likely to experience a worsening of their myopia over a two-year period than children who did not wear glasses.
The study authors believe that wearing glasses may help slow the progression of myopia by reducing the amount of time children spend focusing on near objects. When children focus on near objects, their eyes have to work harder to bend light so that it focuses on the retina. This can put pressure on the eyes and may contribute to the progression of myopia.
A revolution in the healthcare system
The healthcare system today
The modern medical system demonstrates excellence in emergency and life-saving medicine, such as trauma care, ophthalmology, and audiology. For example, advances in trauma surgery and rapid response teams have significantly improved the survival rates of critically ill patients.
However, there are certain shortcomings in the current healthcare system. One such issue is the disconnect between the private and public healthcare sectors. This lack of communication and collaboration can lead to fragmented care, as can be seen when a patient moves from a private doctor to a public hospital for treatment and their medical records are not shared in a timely manner.
In some cases, the healthcare system may not be making sufficient use of data related to patients, recovery, and other vital aspects. For example, healthcare providers may not have access to a central database to review a patient’s medical history, which can lead to uninformed decisions and less effective care.
The current medical system also tends to prioritize drug treatments for various conditions. For example, patients with chronic pain may be prescribed opioids instead of exploring alternative treatments, such as physical therapy or lifestyle changes, that can provide long-term relief and improve quality of life.
Moreover, the healthcare system emphasizes longevity over quality of life. For example, aggressive treatments such as chemotherapy may be given to terminal cancer patients, prolonging their lives but not necessarily improving their well-being or comfort during their remaining time.
Finally, the healthcare system is fragmented and decentralized, with different providers and institutions operating independently. This can make it difficult for patients to navigate the healthcare landscape and receive coordinated care. For example, a patient may need to see multiple specialists for a single problem, leading to a fragmented and time-consuming experience.
Treat the problem, not the symptom.
An important guiding principle is that most medical problems stem from poor behavior, not from genes or a physical problem. In other words, the body can fix most of them without medical intervention, but only by changing diet, activity, and environment. Of course, there are problems that require medical intervention because the damage is already irreversible.
A metric I can improve
In general, before you start, you need a measure that you can improve and know that you have improved, otherwise you could be bluffing. A good starting measure that is also really easy to calculate from a sample is a BMI test of the residents by the residents themselves and their reporting to the Ministry of Health app, of course in exchange for some incentive. Then there is a measure based on height, weight and age that represents the population.
Throw the oil, flour, and sugar as far away as possible.
After there is an index of the health of the residents, which is initially very basic, I would concentrate on what will improve the health of the residents the most, and that is their nutrition. The first thing is to reduce consumption of oil products, wheat flour, and sugar – “sugars” for short. This is not an easy task when sugars constitute the main food for a large part of the population.
I would start with a tax credit for those who have a normal BMI and explain how to achieve it.
At the same time, red warning labels were added for non-compliant products.
Raising taxes on non-adapted products and providing incentives for baking sourdough breads and goat’s milk products.
In the first stage, when no one trusts me, it will have a good effect on the population’s BMI.
The cost of healthcare per person in Israel
To know where things stand in the Ministry of Health, I would like to know how much each person in Israel spends today on public and private healthcare and various health devices.
My goal is essentially to reduce the cost of healthcare for each person and at the same time, increase their level of health.
Doctors understand nutrition
Treating problems and not symptoms, all doctors need to understand proper nutrition and movement and only then offer invasive treatment and medications. This is preventive medicine, emphasizing disease prevention rather than disease treatment. Disease prevention is possible through proper nutrition and proper movement, which has been damaged by modernization. In my opinion, there are no drugs and there will be no drugs that can replace the above.
VAT benefit for a restaurant that does not have oil, sugar, or wheat flour
Give businesses incentives and an interest in helping people be healthy, for example, reducing income tax by 1% on restaurants that do not use oil, sugar, or wheat flour.
Food quality labels
Implement regulation and enforcement of food standards and other matters affecting our health.
Escalation, talk to a medical advisor before a doctor
Doctors are very busy and you can usually filter your contact with them, just like you do in customer service, it takes time to get to the manager. First, a general consultation with a “health expert” who doesn’t have to be a doctor, he understands how the process works and sometimes it can be solved without a doctor. You can define exactly what a doctor requires and what requires an examination or just rest.
Monitoring the performance of doctors
Quarterly monitoring of doctors’ performance based on the health indicators of the people they treated. Each treatment will be reported to the Ministry of Health to obtain indicators of patient treatment performance. Patients will of course report any improvement or deterioration in their relevant feelings.
Activate the private market for testing
Use the private market as much as possible for tests, x-rays, MRIs, etc.
Ministry of Health app
Complete digitalization of the entire healthcare system. One system that will be used by all hospitals in Israel.
Tests and recommendations for the entire population once a year
Check for mineral and vitamin deficiencies on a systematic and regular basis for the entire population. When the entire population is tested once a year, we will be able to know what is working and what needs to be improved.
A well-organized grocery list for private health insurance
It is necessary to put health insurance in order and implement regulations that will make it difficult for companies to beat up insured people.
Why don’t most doctors get better?
Without feedback there is no improvement, that is a well-known rule in training. Of course, the main problem is that doctors do not understand nutrition, and nutrition has the greatest impact on our health, yes, it is crazy. But apart from that – in the health system, in Israel and around the world, there is no monitoring of the patients’ condition, and thus doctors are prevented from receiving feedback. Most doctors, after a certain stage, do not have a teacher to guide them on how to progress. That’s why most doctors reach their maximum ability after a few years and get stuck there, and then there is a deterioration caused by burnout. This is what studies on the subject show.
Dave Davis is known for his research on the impact of continuing medical education (CME). In a study titled “The Impact of Formal Continuing Medical Education: Do Conferences, Workshops, Roundtables, and Other Traditional Continuing Education Activities Change Physician Behavior or Healthcare Outcomes?” (JAMA, 1999), Davis and colleagues conducted a systematic review of the effectiveness of CME activities.
Interactive workshops were found to be more effective than traditional lectures and conferences, which did nothing to improve physician service. In addition, CME programs that focused on outcomes and included practice-oriented activities were more likely to lead to improvements in patient care.
And these results are not surprising. There is no feedback in a lecture, but there is in an interaction. You can’t learn to play golf by watching golf on YouTube.
The study concluded that lectures and seminars for physicians have no effect on patient care. Emphasis should be placed on designing interactive, practice-oriented programs to maximize their impact on physician performance and patient outcomes.
I’m sure that only 5%-10% of doctors are constantly improving and looking for new methods.
Do not trust the Ministry of Health or doctors without checking other sources and examining with free thought and realizing on your own that what they are telling you is true. The Ministry of Health and doctors have not said anything new for years, which proves that the Ministry of Health is not functioning or is afraid to function or, in the worst case, does not know how to function.
Poop test
The best test to know if you are eating right is the condition of your poop. Although it is not so pleasant to talk about it and you will not find it anywhere, it is the most accurate test in the world, which is why I make an effort and write about it despite the unpleasantness. You should poop once a day or two, it should be relatively hard, long and uniform and not soft. Almost no gas during the day. The correct way is by squatting like the ancients did. The event should be over within 30 seconds at most. Any different shape is crucial, it is not natural for us and can cause problems. An explanatory video on the squatting position and research on the subject .
If this is not the case for you, you are probably not eating right. And it is probably not a genetic or bacterial problem. Read about free-range nutrition , implement it, and then do the poop test. From the moment the food goes in until it comes out, between 24 and 48 hours pass, and sometimes more.
Do nutritional supplements help me?
Living organisms strive for homeostasis, that is, maintaining certain parameters within a narrow range. For example, warm-blooded animals must maintain their internal temperatures within a narrow range to function properly. Attempting to treat depression by interfering with the ability of neural synapses to clear serotonin, believing that it is caused by low serotonin levels, can lead to neural adaptations and the formation of long-term dependence on drugs such as SSRIs. These adaptations can worsen depression long after the drug is discontinued.
Dietary interactions can also be extremely complex. Adding another nutrient that you believe you need, whether through pills or targeted food intake, can sometimes cause additional problems. For example, trying to correct oxidative stress by taking antioxidants such as vitamin E and beta-carotene may seem like a good idea, but clinical trials have shown that giving these to smokers has had poor results. These antioxidants did not reduce lung cancer or deaths and may even have slightly increased them. This may be because oxidation is a necessary process that the body uses to direct many things, including tissue repair. Other studies have shown that taking high doses of vitamin C to interfere with this process prevents muscle recovery and growth after exercise.
Even food sources of nutrients can be problematic. A few years ago, I met a man who was suffering from numbness, difficulty walking, forgetfulness, and tremors, all of which were severe neurological symptoms. His neurologists were baffled, and his symptoms were rapidly worsening. They were already considering invasive treatments, but then he discovered the problem—he was consuming Brazil nuts daily as a source of selenium, which he thought was lacking in his diet. In a casual conversation, it turned out that selenium toxicity was the likely cause. When he stopped eating them, his symptoms disappeared, and he made a full recovery.
Trying to manually assemble a complex set of interacting components can sometimes be disastrous. Fortunately, it’s unlikely that we’ll need to target our nutritional needs with laser precision. If we had to use our prefrontal cortex to make our bodies work, we probably wouldn’t have gotten this far. Sometimes medication is required, and so are supplements! However, in the absence of injury, infection, or unusual nutrient depletion, your body can likely handle some fluctuations in its environment. On the other hand, if you have a health problem that won’t resolve on its own, you may have a chronic injury, infection, or other condition that’s depleting your nutrients. In this scenario, identifying the underlying problem will be more effective than assuming you’re broken.
Improving function
- Neck – Exercising the neck in all directions every day, especially upwards because this is the opposite direction of staring at the computer.
- Knees – Japanese sitting and tilting the body to both sides.
- Voice – Voice development is a matter of training, not genes. It is recommended to read this book . Training is required to speak correctly and clearly and of course to sing correctly. The importance is of course in speaking. An interview on the correct use of the voice .
- running.
- Organize and clean around you, at home or wherever you are. Cleanliness and order affect you and your thinking!
- Joint problems are usually caused by an improper diet and incorrect walking, standing, or running (insoles and the like do not solve the problem, they only move it to another joint). Exercise all the joints in your body every day. By any method.
- There are many types of cholesterol. The terms “high” or “low” cholesterol don’t mean much and don’t predict a heart attack.
- Deal with the coronavirus correctly (important for the next fight).
